The Oleksandrivsk Uprising (Ukrainian: Олександрівське Повстання) was an armed workers' rebellion that broke out against the Central Council of Ukraine in the city of Oleksandrivsk on 25 December [O.S. 12 December] 1917. Led by local Bolsheviks, detachments of the Red Guards and Black Sea Fleet managed to occupy much of the city for 3 days, but were defeated by the forces of the Ukrainian People's Army. Despite the initial UPA victory, on 2 January 1918 [O.S. 20 December 1917], the Red Guards returned to Oleksandrivsk, captured the city and establishing "soviet power".
