It is divided into five main blocks: from the Cimmerians to Kyivan Rus (10th century BC - 9th century AD); from Kyivan Rus to the Galician Principality (10th century - 1256); from the Galician Principality to the Union of Lublin (1256–1569); from the Union of Lublin to the Peace Agreement of Andrusiv (1569–1667); from the Peace Agreement of Andrusiv to the third partition of the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth (1667–1794). The second volume "History of Civilisation. Ukraine” is dedicated to the period from Kyivan Rus to the Galician Principality (end of the 10th century - 1256).
