100 Key Events in Ukrainian History

About this ebook
The history of Ukraine resembles a half-uncharted map. This is not a
mere coincidence, but the result of the deliberate public policy. Hundreds
of various people serving their mother countries have been working hard
on those blank spots for centuries. Those myth and fake news makers have
done their best to make our history, as well as Ukraine itself, look in descendants’
eyes the way preferred by those who tried to assimilate the heritage
of Kyivan Rus. However, time always puts everything in its place. So this
book is an attempt to collect the events that have shaped the Ukraine we
know today and will promote its further development.
We sought to focus on positive events in Ukrainian history, in other
words, on victories. The image of our country as a helpless continuously
suffering victim that always sings sad songs and is incapable of confronting
external pressure has been exploited for a long time. In fact, an insight
into the actual history of Ukraine proves this image to be false. The voice of
the past provides us with dozens of chronicles, documents and historical
studies. Courageous heroes, strong warriors, talented artists, prominent
statesmen, unrivalled philosophers and scholars — those have been the
people creating our history. And, naturally, they and their achievements
must be revealed and popularized. This work is an effort to unite in a single
volume the highlights of our historic heritage and show that, against all
odds, Ukraine remembers its past and intends to build its own bright future,
considering the extensive rich experience that has been gained.
