About the book: 2020 / The book is a collection of essays about little-known pages of the history of Little Russia (Ukraine). The author talks about events of the distant and very recent past. Many of them are forgotten today, carefully hushed up or deliberately covered in a distorted form. Where did the names “Ukraine” and “Ukrainians” come from, how did the Ukrainian language emerge, was state independence the eternal dream of the Ukrainian people, what do the “Orange Revolution” and “Revolution of Dignity” represent? All this and much more will be discussed in the new work of the famous historian Alexander Karevin.
