“We are not the same nation with Russian people,” the statement which all Ukrainians wish to convey to the whole world for centuries. The striving for freedom and independence is what these people shed much of their blood on Ukrainian lands for.
“The Ukraine” by Bedwin Sands (George Raffalovich) describes Ukrainian problem, which exacerbated in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, by looking back at the Ukrainian history, the development of Ukrainian literature and its influence, and by considering its relations with Austria and Russia.

very informative!

This book was very well written and read by all, and very prescient todsy, what with Russia invading Ukraine and the Ukrainians showing themselves so brave, patriotic and well educated. Wow! We get to watch history in the making and hear how it all came about over the centuries. I don’t ever want America to become a continent of warring states . We have to evolve in such a way as to get along and be different at the same time, and not power over everyone different from ourselves.
