À propos de cet audio

 A “pioneering and fundamental” (Timothy Snyder) new history of Ukraine from one of its leading public intellectuals

When Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022, the world witnessed the “creative, freewheeling, darkly humorous, and deeply resilient society” that is contemporary Ukraine. In this timely and original history, a bestseller in Ukraine, the historian Yaroslav Hrytsak tells the sweeping story of his nation through a meticulous examination of the major events, conflicts, and developments that have shaped it over the course of centuries.

Hrytsak weaves a rich and detailed tapestry of a country in continual transformation.

Ukraine is essential reading for anyone who wants to better understand Ukraine’s dramatic past and its global significance--from the 17th-century Cossack uprising to the collapse of the USSR in 1991 and Ukrainian independence, and from the evolution of the Ukrainian language to the warning signs that anticipated Russia’s 2022 invasion. This book is the definitive story of Ukraine and its people, as told by one of its most celebrated voices. Est Europe Sciences sociales Spirituel

Neverending stream of dubious, controversial and self-contradicting claims mixed with anecdotes and myths (e.g., "Ukraine is one of the most educated countries"). The author just throws these at the reader rarely following up with the actual supporting data.

The author seems to specialize in antisemitism, so much of his in-depth analysis is dedicated to it. Other parts of the book are rather naive and could have been as well written by a journalist rather than a historian. – The book is generally written in journalistic style rather than scientific or popular science.

In short, it's not a serious history book. Rather author's reflections on history of Ukraine. In that sense, I would not recommend it for people who want to learn actual history of Ukraine.

As for the narrator, he speaks with Russian accent. Yet, somehow, he butchers not only ALL of Ukrainian words, but also some names which are common in Russia.
