Ukrainian Voices Understanding Ukraine
Beschrijving
Bol
The 20132014 Euromaidan Revolutions call for justice, dignity, and liberty brought Ukraine, which had disappeared behind the Iron Curtain for decades after the horrors of World War II, into the worlds public consciousness. Yet, the country was soon almost forgotten again. In early 2022, the rapid escalation of Putins war on Ukraine has put the country back into the spotlight. Without knowing the countrys past, one cannot understand its present. This anthology tackles the complex history of terror and violence in Ukraine from the millionfold starvation of the Holodomor to the changing occupation regimes, from the Shoah by Bullets to the Chornobyl disaster. Those ready to delve deeper into the checkered, painful history of the country will better understand Ukraines current quest for independence, freedom, and democracy. The volumes contributors are Serhii Plokhii, Timothy D. Snyder, Anna Veronika Wendland, Anne Applebaum, Eduard Klein, Gelinada Grinchenko, Gerhard Simon, Irina Scherbakowa, Jan Claas Behrends, Karel C. Berkhoff, Kateryna Mishchenko, Klaus Wolschner, Nikolai Klimeniouk, Nikolaus von Twickel, Oksana Grytsenko, Ottmar Tra?ca, Rebecca Harms, Sebastian Christ, Sébastien Gobert, Viktoria Savchuk, Volodymyr Yermolenko, Wilfried Jilge, Christoph Brumme, and Yevhen Hlibovytsky.
