As chairman of the Ukrainian Socialist Revolutionary Party (Ukrainian Socialist Revolutionaries) founded in 1907, after the February Revolution in 1917, he initially worked with Rumcherod in Odessa , then after the October Revolution on October 24, 1917, he became Chief Minister of the Central Rada in Kiev and after the proclamation of independence of the Ukrainian People's Republic on January 30, 1918 its Prime Minister and Foreign Minister.

However, by this time the People's Republic had already lost large parts of the country to insurgent Bolsheviks and was in fact at war with Soviet Russia . On February 8, Kiev fell to the Bolsheviks, Holubovytsch's government fled first to Zhytomyr , then to Brest-Litovsk , where Holubovych had been since January 31.

As leader of the Ukrainian delegation to the peace negotiations in Brest-Litovsk , Holubovych negotiated the separate " peace of bread " concluded on February 9, 1918 with the Central Powers . In exchange for food, this treaty placed Ukraine under the protection of German and Austro-Hungarian troops. Although they recaptured Ukraine from the Bolsheviks (and on March 1st also Kiev) and initially forced Soviet Russia to recognize Ukrainian independence, Holubovych was arrested by the German military administration on April 29, 1918 and replaced by Pavlo Skoropadskyj as head of a puppet government.

Released when the German troops withdrew in December 1918, he was arrested again by the Ukrainian Bolsheviks in August 1920, but released again in December 1921. Finally he was arrested again in 1931 and died in Yaroslavl prison.
