About the book: 2012 / The book discusses the most pressing problems of national history, which found themselves in independent Ukraine, especially in the “orange” timelessness, hostage to the political thoughtlessness of its leadership . History was divided into “ours” and “not ours”, Ukrainians were called a victim people, always offended by aggressive neighbors, especially Russians; the path they have followed for many hundreds of years has been declared erroneous, and Euro-Atlantic integration has been proposed as an alternative... Essentially, this is nothing more than a betrayal of our past, oblivion of the memory of past generations. This is immoral and sinful. And this is also what this book is about. The author not only declares his disagreement with the new, ethno-ideological concept of the past and future of Ukraine, but on each specific issue gives a detailed study, using historical arguments, and in some cases offers his own vision of resolving the problems facing Ukrainian society. Journalistic in form and historical -research in content, the book is designed for everyone who is not indifferent to the past and future of Ukraine.
