History
[
edit
]
Originally, the ministry was established as the General Secretariat of Nationalities as part of the
General Secretariat of Ukraine
and was headed by the federalist
Serhiy Yefremov
. Due to the Soviet intervention, the office was reformed into a ministry on December 22, 1917. About the same time, another government was formed (the Soviet) that proclaimed the Ukrainian government to be counter-revolutionary. The Ukrainian Soviet government also reorganized its office on March 1, 1918. In 1923, the office was liquidated by the government of the Soviet Union and reinstated in 1944, twenty years later. The first Soviet representatives were not of much note until the appointment of the Bulgarian native
Christian Rakovsky
in 1919. The office would remain in operation even after Ukraine's restoration of independence in 1991.
General overview
[
edit
]
The ministry is located in Ukraine's capital
Kyiv
in the city's historic
uppertown
district, located in close proximity to the recently rebuilt
St. Michael's Golden-Domed Monastery
. The building of the ministry is also located on the Mykhailivska Square, named for the monastery and next to the park
Volodymyrska Hill
.
The nomination of the Foreign Minister is done by the
President of Ukraine
, unlike most nominations of
Cabinet Minister
which are done by the
Prime Minister of Ukraine
. All minister nominations have to be approved by the
Ukrainian Parliament
.
