this is a History for Adults. With this episode we are starting a long overdue series - History of Ukraine for Adults.
Thanks to «Vidrodzhennya» foundation for support.
Why did we do this? Because harsh life experience shows that each of us should know who we are and where we came from. Otherwise, some mongrel will come and assure us that we were created in a secret laboratory either by the Austrian General Staff or by Vladimir Lenin. And they will kill us so that there is no one to claim the opposite.
And there is also a world that doesn't know about us or doesn't know enough about us. Therefore, we translate these issues into foreign languages for those who need to see how medieval Russia became Ukraine, and Tartary became Russia.
And note bene: we will not try to rewrite Hrushevskyi or outspeak Snyder. In our format it is simply impossible and not necessary. Another thing is important for us: to look at the history of Ukraine in two most important aspects: what place we have had in the world all this time and why we do not belong in Russia.
So, let’s go ahead! I mean back! In the past!
