Preview Stolen Name. Why Rusyns Turned into Ukrainians
Description:
The true purpose of history is to help us make sense of the present. A chance to look at the earliest years of history we can see present-day events from another angle.
Yevgen Nakonechnyi’s book is a means to put different epochs into a chain of a logic narration. Analysis and comprehension of the past facts are now of the greatest importance, as Russian-Ukrainian relations are being built on this basis. From this very point the official Kremlin is imposing an idea that Ukrainians are “younger brothers” of Russians, and they cannot claim to be fully independent, and moreover the Ukrainian nation has allegedly not been formed historically. With this purpose opportunistic reasons are provided by Russian historians to develop a chauvinistic world view of Russians. For Ukrainians it is of great importance not to go as low as to concentrate on mutual accusations and reproaches but grounding on scientific knowledge and reasoning show a real picture of the past. The fact is that “Rusyns” (former name of Ukrainians) had been mentioned long before Moskovia citizens, who several centuries later started to call themselves “Russian”. This book provides a complete picture with the help of historical parallelisms, interconnections of nations of our planet in different periods, depicting objectively the continuous history process of Slavic nations, as well as those historical events that made a basis for Ukraine’s future struggle for independence.
