Nope. The Ukrainian language was backed by the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic.

Smaller cultures in the USSR had their own republics and were assisted by the central state in building language resources, especially in the early years but fell off in importance for many compounding reasons through and after WW2.

The USSR could have been a serious experiment in cultural revitalization after centuries of Colonial rule, this was cut short unfortunately.
