5.0 out of 5 stars True history of my country.
Reviewed in the United States on May 8, 2022
It is the history of my country that is very well written. Especially in light of recent events and the war in Ukraine. The author is a very well known historian both in Ukraine and in Europe as a whole. He published a more complete, detailed History of Ukraine, citing primary sources and historical eyewitness accounts. This is a concise but professional version of Ukrainian history for a wide range of readers. The book shows the history of Ukraine without historical perversions imposed by Russian propaganda, which for centuries claimed that Russians and Ukrainians are "one people" while stealing history from Ukrainians to justify the goals of Russian chauvinism.

5.0 out of 5 stars Real history of Ukraine
Reviewed in the United States on December 7, 2021
This is the best book ever. This book to must-read If you want to know the natural history of Ukraine and the tsardom of Moskow. The history of how and why Moskow stole the ancient history of Ukraine and became Russian. I got a clear understanding of why Moskow wants to destroy and eat Ukraine as a country in our modern time. Must read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book
Reviewed in the United States on November 19, 2021
The book shows why we should apply the historical name ‘Muscovy’ to the Russian Federation since the term ‘Rus’ was stolen from the Ukrainians by the Russians. It gives a very good description of how Peter I ordered the Muscovite tsardom to call itself Rus.

5.0 out of 5 stars Must read to understand the real history of Russia or Moskovia.
Reviewed in the United States on December 15, 2021
The book is built as number of short stories, each developing some part of Russian history. Must reed to understand better Russia and the nature of their agressive politics.

1.0 out of 5 stars Mythology of Ucrania
Reviewed in the United States on October 8, 2021
It is not a real history.
It somehow mythology of that country.
They tried to take Russian history and name after them.
Looks like parallel reality....
