      250 years of lies: Russian myths about the history of Crimea

      by Serhii Hromenko

      The book analyses more than 20 Russian myths fabricated to legitimise the annexation of Crimea. The annexation of the Ukrainian peninsular of Crimea by Russia in 2014 caused the largest political crisis in Europe since the Second World War. It also gave rise to the unprecedented growth of propaganda to justify the aggressive policy of the Russian Federation in the eyes of the world. Is Crimea really an original Russian land? Is it true that the Crimean Tatars are all traitors? Was the peninsula really integrated into Ukraine illegally? And what, after all, were the events of February–March 2014–the illegal occupation of the foreign territory or the “restoration of historical justice”?

      300 Years of Solitude: Ukrainian Donbas in Search of Senses and the Roots

      by Stanislav Kulchytsky, Larysa Yakubova

      In recent years, Donbas has been at the epicenter of a heated public discussion. This book is a comprehensive study of the historical experience of the Donetsk and Luhansk regions. It highlights several problems of rapid social and economic growth and painful stagnation, powerful migration processes and the multi-ethnic population structure and, as a result, an unstructured identity and short historical memory. The authors explore the origins of the Soviet mythologemes of the "people of Donbas”, “All-Union stokehold”, “melting pot”, which have been influencing the formation of the consciousness of the region’s population and the collective image of the Ukrainian Donbas for a long time. This book presents a detailed analysis of the events of the Russian-Ukrainian war, the factors that preceded the creation of quasi-states, as well as possible ways and tools to overcome the social and cultural consequences of the military conflict.

      by Inna Kovalyshena

The subject of the book is the history of Ukraine from dinosaurs to today, which is interestingly and directly revealed. The main characters are children, in whom readers can recognize themselves.

      A Delicious History of Ukraine

      by Masha Serdiuk

      Crimean Tatars: from Ethnogenesis to Statehood

      by Gulnara Abdullaeva

      The book Crimean Tatars: From Ethnogenesis to Statehood is not just a sketch of the life and formation of Crimean Tatars as an ethnos, it is a great opportunity for readers of any age to learn and reflect in a historical (and sometimes political) perspective about who the Crimean Tatars, Krymchaks, Karaites really are, where they came from and how they were formed as a nationality. And why now they, together with other, unfortunately, small ethnic groups are forced to defend their status as the indigenous population of the peninsula, what is their role in the formation of modern Ukraine. A detailed study by Crimean historian Gulnara Abdullaeva will help restore the centuries-old ethnic history of the Crimean Tatars and other indigenous peoples of Crimea, dispel numerous imposed myths, demonstrate the national identity, uniqueness and value of the Crimean Tatar ethnic group for human civilization. The book is for those who want to know the story without expurgates.

      Crimean Tatars from exile to return (1941-1991 years)

      by Bekirova Hulnara

It is a detailed research of the history of the Crimean Tatar national movement and contains a lot of quotes from the Crimean Tatars’ self-publishing press as well as citations from the traditionally friendly to the Crimean Tatars Moscow editions of that times. An author also reinforced her research by analysis of many documents that were found in the Crimean, Kyiv and Moscow archives as well as by the interview with the most famous and respected member of the movement, leader of Crimean Tatar people Mustafa Djemilev, who was a prisoner of conscience many times during Soviet era.

According to the author, resistance of Crimean Tatars to the criminal policy of the Moscow authorities and the refusal of Russian authorities to fulfil the just demands of the Crimean Tatar people are two different fronts of the national struggle of Crimean Tatar people. Despite the victory of the Crimean Tatars and their return to their homeland a quarter century ago, the struggle at the both fronts continues.

      History of Ukraine from KGB Secret Files

      by Volodymyr Viatrovych

      The unknown and classified KGB history of the largest country in Europe - Ukraine is the history of people, events, documents and files. The files have answers to many questions. The most important of which - why did a war begin again in Europe? Why is it so important for Russia to conquer Ukraine? Why are Ukrainians putting up such a powerful resistance? Historian Volodymyr Viatrovych, who declassified the secret archives of the Soviet special services from the Cheka to the KGB, talks about the history of Ukraine, the USSR and Eastern Europe from 1918 to 1991. The reader, is offered, along with various heroes and traitors, those who thought they were in control of events, and those who thought they had no power over them, to recreate the nearly century-old chess game between the Ukrainian liberation movement and the creators of the "prison of nations." Described in reports and recreated by a historian, this work looks at the cunning “special operations”, deadly moves, information wars and complex games among several players that are all an attempt to find an answer to the question: what creates our destiny - human will or circumstances?
