Paperback. Num Pages: 272 pages, biography. BIC Classification: HBAH; HBJ; HBJD; HBL; JP. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 216 x 140. .
The Ukraine's emergence as an independent state in 1991 was not accompanied by violence, it may be argued, due to the weak national consciousness of most of its citizens. Dr.Velychenko's latest work compares Soviet with Polish accounts of the Ukraine's past, examines how 'national history' was written and how its interpretation changed in each country. This book provides an account of how historical writing was used to build and destroy nations and states and is particularly relevant today in light of recent events in Eastern Europe.
