"Battle for Sobornist: from legend to truth" is a book that will completely immerse you in the events of centuries ago and answer many questions of "why".
Among the works of the First National Liberation Struggle, it is difficult to find someone who is not infected with Marxist doctrines. Is it Skoropadskyi or Mikhnovskyi... However, before you are the memories of Longyn Tsegelskyi, and here precisely one hundred percent of statecraft and zero socialist experiments.
November breakdown. Battles for Lviv. Intricacies of diplomatic negotiations. Meetings with the Hetman and the Directory. Striving for the unity of Ukrainian lands. Attempts to postpone all internal issues and contradictions for later. Intransigence towards the Bolsheviks. Dozens of topics and hundreds of episodes will help you understand why in 1917-1921, Ukrainians did not manage to get their state on the ruins of two empires.
