Download or read book Ivan Mazepa and the Russian Empire written by Tatiana Tairova-Yakovleva and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 2020-12-10 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ivan Mazepa (1639-1709), hetman of the Zaporozhian Host in what is now Ukraine, is a controversial figure, famous for abandoning his allegiance to Tsar Peter I and joining Charles XII's Swedish army during the Battle of Poltava. Although he is discussed in almost every survey and major book on Russian and Ukrainian history, Ivan Mazepa and the Russian Empire is the first English-language biography of the hetman in sixty years. A translation and revision of Tatiana Tairova-Yakovleva's 2007 Russian-language book, Ivan Mazepa and the Russian Empire presents an updated perspective. This account is based on many new sources, including Mazepa's archive - thought lost for centuries before it was rediscovered by the author in 2004 - and post-Soviet Russian and Ukrainian historiography. Focusing on this fresh material, Tairova-Yakovleva delivers a more nuanced and balanced account of the polarizing figure who has been simultaneously demonized in Russia as a traitor and revered in Ukraine as the defender of independence. Chapters on economic reform, Mazepa's impact on the rise to power of Peter I, his cultural achievements, and the reasons he switched his allegiance from Peter to Charles integrate a larger array of issues and personalities than have previously been explored. Setting a standard for the next generation of historians, Ivan Mazepa and the Russian Empire reveals an original picture of the Hetmanate during a moment of critical importance for the Russian Empire and Ukraine.

Download or read book Ukraine and Russia written by Serhii Plokhy and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2008-01-01 with total page 417 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The question of where Russian history ends and Ukrainian history begins has not yet received a satisfactory answer. Generations of historians referred to Kyiv, the capital of Ukraine, as the starting point of the Muscovite dynasty, the Russian state, and, ultimately, the Russian nation. However, the history of Kyiv and that of the Scythians of the Northern Black Sea region have also been claimed by Ukrainian historians, and are now regarded as integral parts of the history of Ukraine. If these are actually the beginnings of Ukrainian history, when does Russian history start? In Ukraine and Russia, Serhii Plokhy discusses many questions fundamental to the formation of modern Russian and Ukrainian historical identity. He investigates the critical role of history in the development of modern national identities and offers historical and cultural insight into the current state of relations between the two nations. Plokhy shows how history has been constructed, used, and misused in order to justify the existence of imperial and modern national projects, and how those projects have influenced the interpretation of history in Russia and Ukraine. This book makes important assertions not only about the conflicts and negotiations inherent to opposing historiographic traditions, but about ways of overcoming the limitations imposed by those traditions.

Book excerpt: The First World War, which began in 1914 (July 28, 1914), divided Ukrainian territories between the Russian and Austro-Hungarian empires. During this time, a political movement called the "Union for the Liberation of Ukraine" was initiated by a six-member administrative team that gathered on August 4, 1914, with the aim of Ukraine's liberation. The names of these six individuals were Volodymyr Doroshenko, Marian Melenevsky, Andrii Zhuk, Mykola Zalizniak, Oleksander Skoropys-Yoltukhovsky, and Dmytro Dontsov. Based in Vienna, the Union for the Liberation of Ukraine made various publications to raise awareness in European public opinion and appealed for military support as well. While they particularly sought to gain the attention of Germany, states reluctant to antagonize Russia provided financial support, albeit reluctantly. The society's headquarters in Vienna were later moved to Berlin. They also had offices in places like Switzerland and Romania and distributed political brochures and books to convey their concerns to all countries. The organization's goal was to establish an independent Ukraine. However, as mentioned in the previous sentence, Ukraine was not officially recognized as an independent country due to its non-compliance with the policies of states. Indeed, at no point did many states wish to engage in activities that did not align with their policies. As we frequently encounter in historical cases, this policy can be summarized as follows: The rebellious group approaches a state and, by being recognized by that state, gains a legitimate ground to engage in the struggle. In this way, they achieve recognition and acquire allies. Information about the publishing activities mentioned briefly by the Union for the Liberation of Ukraine is undoubtedly found in the archives of many countries. However, each should be evaluated separately because these publications vary from one country to another. Therefore, making this book available to our readers in Turkey, especially in Turkish, has brought us special joy. This work, which will serve as an example of how such events unfolded, is dedicated to the Ukrainian people who are once again struggling with war these days.
Download or read book History of the Cossacks written by Nicholas V. Feodoroff and published by Nova Publishers. This book was released on 1999 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This interesting and informative book presents a picture of warriors quite different from today's flyover heroes and values diametrically opposed to the 'didn't inhale' crowd. Mr Feodoroff, a Cossack himself, offers us a detailed history of his people, including their politics, military afflictions, culture, ideology and philosophy, as well as their typical personality characteristics. A picture emerges quite at variance with the image projected by the media in the West. We are presented with rare illustrations and descriptions of a lifestyle filled with adventure and faith.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Courage and Fear is a study of a multicultural city in times when all norms collapse. Ola Hnatiuk presents a meticulously documented portrait of Lviv’s ethnically diverse intelligentsia during World War Two. As the Soviet, Nazi, and once again Soviet occupations tear the city’s social fabric apart, groups of Polish, Ukrainian, and Jewish doctors, academics, and artists try to survive, struggling to manage complex relationships and to uphold their ethos. As their pre-war lives are violently upended, courage and fear shape their actions. Ola Hnatiuk employs diverse sources in several languages to tell the story of Lviv from a multi-ethnic perspective and to challenge the national narratives dominant in Central and Eastern Europe.
