Historical fiction2020Cain
by Volodymyr Yeshkilev
"It is our time that will decide the future of countries and dynasties to come" said the Cardinal Mazarini's spy to the young nobleman named Pavel Moshkovsky, who will later become the ruler of Ukraine under title of Hetman Teteria. And he was right - the middle of the XVII century started a New Age of European history and drew the apocalyptic outlines of the world in the twilight of which we now live. The dark silhouette of the Biblical figure from the Book of Genesis, who was the firstborn child of Adam and Eve and committed a great sin of killing thy own brother overshadows the last four centuries of the world’s history. Volodymyr Eshkilev dives deep into the secrets of the castles and their rulers in his historical novel "Cain", the second of the trilogy "Cursed Hetmans". The reader will recognise the characters from the author’s previous novel called “Union” and will meet many new historical figures who lived and work during the period called “Ruin”. During the “Ruin” the hetmanate of Teteria, one of the most stipulated and disgraced rulers of Ukraine, held power. Eshkilev offers his own unique and unexpected interpretation of this historical figure. The events of the novel take place in beautiful and artistic surroundings and reflect on political, diplomatic, and even occult affairs of the XVII century.

History2019250 years of lies: Russian myths about the history of Crimea
by Serhii Hromenko
The book analyses more than 20 Russian myths fabricated to legitimise the annexation of Crimea. The annexation of the Ukrainian peninsular of Crimea by Russia in 2014 caused the largest political crisis in Europe since the Second World War. It also gave rise to the unprecedented growth of propaganda to justify the aggressive policy of the Russian Federation in the eyes of the world. Is Crimea really an original Russian land? Is it true that the Crimean Tatars are all traitors? Was the peninsula really integrated into Ukraine illegally? And what, after all, were the events of February–March 2014–the illegal occupation of the foreign territory or the “restoration of historical justice”?
