The book you are holding in your hands is an important source of information and knowledge about the life of Ukrainians at the beginning of the 20th century. After all, it is the photos that most fully and indisputably testify to the living conditions of that time, clothing, everyday life, historical events that took place then on our lands: the years of World War I, the interwar period, industrialization and collectivization, which led to one of the most tragic pages in the history of Ukraine — the Holodomor-genocide. The photos show mainly the lives of ordinary Ukrainians — peasants of the specified period, as well as several historical buildings, archaeological objects and photos of the famous Ukrainian historian and archaeologist — Dmytro Ivanovych Yavornytskyi. The photo album will be useful both to historians — specialists in the study of the history of Ukraine of the 20th century, and to the general public — those who want to better familiarize themselves with the life of Ukrainians of that time.
