From Nationalism to Universalism
Jabotinsky was one of the first Jewish leaders who grasped the significance of the Ukrainian national problem and sympathized with the Ukrainian national movement. His pro-Ukrainian stance, however, was put to a hard test following the anti-Jewish excesses of Petlyura's army in 1919, including the Proskurov pogrom. Despite that, Jabotinsky remained a supporter of Ukrainian-Jewish reconciliation. In 1921 he concluded an agreement with Petlyura's government-in-exile, providing for the organization of a Jewish gendarmerie able to prevent pogroms in the event of a military invasion of Soviet Ukraine planned by Petlyura for 1922. Dwells on Jewish and Ukrainian reactions worldwide to the murder of...

Historical Dictionary of Ukraine
Although present-day Ukraine has only been in existence for something over two decades, its recorded history reaches much further back for more than a thousand years to Kyivan Rus’. Over that time, it has usually been under control of invaders like the Turks and Tatars, or neighbors like Russia and Poland, and indeed it was part of the Soviet Union until it gained its independence in 1991. Today it is drawn between its huge neighbor to the east and the European Union, and is still struggling to choose its own path… although it remains uncertain of which way to turn. Nonetheless, as one of the largest European states, with considerable economic potential, it is not a place that can be rea...
The Cossack Myth
In the years following the Napoleonic Wars, a mysterious manuscript began to circulate among the dissatisfied noble elite of the Russian Empire. Entitled The History of the Rus', it became one of the most influential historical texts of the modern era. Attributed to an eighteenth-century Orthodox archbishop, it described the heroic struggles of the Ukrainian Cossacks. Alexander Pushkin read the book as a manifestation of Russian national spirit, but Taras Shevchenko interpreted it as a quest for Ukrainian national liberation, and it would inspire thousands of Ukrainians to fight for the freedom of their homeland. Serhii Plokhy tells the fascinating story of the text's discovery and dissemination, unravelling the mystery of its authorship and tracing its subsequent impact on Russian and Ukrainian historical and literary imagination. In so doing he brilliantly illuminates the relationship between history, myth, empire and nationhood from Napoleonic times to the fall of the Soviet Union.
