13 rulers, 13 with terms dated as terms, covering 1919 – 1991. Median reign 3 years. 0 of 12 handovers irregular - a killing, a deposition, a rival claimant, a rising or a coup beside it. The violent-handover count is withheld: power changed hands so often that any rising falls beside one (exposure 0.66, limit 0.6). A blank in the last column means no kin on record, which is coverage, never “unrelated”.
Heads of government
The line of Prime Minister of Ukraine, drawn and never measured: a cabinet is not a reign.
| Vitold Fokin | 1990 – 1992 |
