Description
Historical Dictionary of Ukraine is a the first work of its kind in English. Although English-language histories of Ukraine have been published since the 1930s, no one-volume compendium of articles has covered Ukrainian history from ancient times to the present, with emphasis on the modern period. This dictionary introduces Ukraine through 700 entries on population, geography, economy, politics, and culture; descriptions of institutions, cultural monuments, political parties, battles, and wars; and biographical sketches of key individuals in politics, the arts and sciences, the church, and the military. The work includes nine maps and a comprehensive chronology of Ukrainian history and also features the most extensive and up to date bibliography of English-language writings on Ukraine in print.
Scholars, students, and other readers interested in Ukraine's history will find this comprehensive volume an invaluable resource.
