Humanities & Social Sciences2018Conversations about Ukraine
by Yaroslav Hrytsak, Izabella Khruslinska
This is the third book in a series of conversations between Iza Khruslinska and Ukrainian intellectuals. The first two books were with Oksana Zabuzhko and Yosyf Zisels. The one with Yaroslav Hrytsak, although, is chronologically the first book. It was first published in Polish language in 2009. The main topic of the conversation with Yaroslav Hrytsak is the suitability of history for understanding what is going on in Ukraine in recent decades. Special emphasis is placed on Ukraine's relations with its historical neighbors – Poles and Russians, as well as Ukrainian-Jewish relations. But first of all, it is about the historical dimension of the current problems and challenges that Ukraine is facing - and to what extent knowledge of history makes it possible to understand future development scenarios. Since the Polish edition was published almost ten years ago, many things in this book have been rethought and rewritten, in particular, a new chapter has appeared on the development of events over the most recent decade.

by Yaroslav Polishchuk

In the first part of the book, the general processes that determined the cultural face of Odesa are analysed, in the second, portraits of prominent artists are presented - Volodymyr Zhabotynskyi, Petro Leshchenko, Mykhailo Zhuk, Boris Necherda, Boris Khersonskyi. Each of them in their own way embodied the image of the beach and sea city in its changing identity and constant charm. And if the above personalities are forgotten today, then we have a good opportunity to get to know and appreciate them more deeply, at the same time rethinking the phenomenon of Odesa in the 20th century.

Humanities & Social SciencesOctober 2020Ukraine: wars, battles, personalities
by Yaroslav Trinchuk
The historical events and personalities, which left their marks on Ukraine history and which are described in this book, are considered from the point of view of modern sociological and historiosophical doctrines. The author steps aside from outdated and compromised historiographical clichés and mythologies, which were imposed on our nation for more than one century and hindered the development of Ukrainian historical science. The text describes in detail the motives of the actions of prominent figures of Ukrainian history, the course and purpose of wars and battles, well-known or little-known, as well as those about which Russian and Soviet historical science carefully kept silent. The author skillfully embodies the credo: "The greatest art (and happiness) of the historian is to cure the nation history from all the diseases with which its enemies have infected it. And don't get infected yourself."
