Ukrainians made up approximately 65% of the population of Eastern Galicia while Poles made up 22% of the population. It was the last large Eastern Slavic territory and the last historic part of the medieval state of Kievan Rus to be integrated into the Russian Empire. This was the self-proclaimed successor state to Kievan Rus. Russia would control and administer this territory from September 1914 until June 1915. During the occupation Russia pursued a policy of integrating eastern Galicia with the Russian state and Russifying the territory's predominant Ukrainian population.
