Five chapters trace the development from the introduction, through the concept of Russian history and its émigré variants, to the concepts of Ukrainian history and Soviet historiography. The author argues that the Kyivan state and the lands between the Oka and the Volga had different populations and followed separate paths of development, and concludes with a warning: Soviet textbooks used by schools and universities in the West present a falsified history of Ukraine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNataliia Polonska-Vasylenko (1884–1973) was a historian and archaeologist, one of the first female professors at Kyiv University, and a full member of the Ukrainian Academy of Sciences and the Ukrainian Free University.

In 1936, Mykhailo Koziia from Bohdanivka near Skalat was drafted into the 10th Polish Infantry Regiment in Łowitsche, where, according to him, Ukrainians made up a third of the regiment; in September 1939, he fell into Bolshevik captivity, passed through camps in Volhynia, the Urals, and Turkestan, and was later released as part of the amnesty for Polish citizens, after which he joined General Anders’ army. He then served in Jalalabad, Iran, Iraq, the Holy Land, Monte Cassino, Ancona, Rimini, Rome, and finally Canada. The most compelling chapter, “The Secret Congress,” describes how approximately twenty thousand Ukrainians in the Second Corps searched for one another at football matches and in the bathhouse, how they demanded their own priest for Easter, and how the Polish “two-man” police force was alarmed by their clandestine activities.

A significant part of the book is devoted to polemics with emigré critics of Dontsov, notably Ulas Samchuk and Yurii Sherekh.

It opens with “Zolotyi Vorota,” described in the introduction as the writer’s testament: the work consists of the sections “To the Star Brothers,” “The Uprising,” “Legions of the Gods,” “What Is Man?”, “The Necessity of the Star Brotherhood,” and two testaments—“To the People of Earth” and “To Ukraine.” This is followed by the extraordinary novella “The Apostle of Immortality,” the science fiction novella “The Illusionist,” and the extraordinary tale “The Constellation of Green Fish.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOles Berdynyk (1926–2003) was a writer and thinker, one of the founders of science fiction in Ukrainian literature, and the author of about thirty books (the publishers give his birth date in the introduction as November 25, 1927). His works were not published from 1972 onward, and in 1976 they were removed from libraries and bookstores; in the 1970s and the first half of the 1980s, they were published abroad by “Smoloskip.” In 1976, he became a co-founder of the Ukrainian Helsinki Group and headed it in 1977; he was imprisoned in 1979 and released in 1984.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe “Smoloskip” publishing house was founded in the United States in 1967 by Osyp Zinkevych; later it removed Vasyl Symonenko’s name.

The art design is by Orest Polishchuk, and a portrait of the writer is included before “About the Author.”\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"archivevam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":64589821575539,"sku":"SKU-00255","price":2250.0,"currency_code":"UAH","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0943\/7885\/2723\/files\/pr-15528942076275.jpg?v=1793987307"},{"product_id":"khrin-stepan-kriz-smikh-zaliza-miunkhen-1952","title":"Khryn Stepan.

The narrative begins in June 1944, as the German front retreats westward—going underground under a pseudonym, hiding places, working with peasants, first encounters with Bolshevik units—and continues until the spring of 1945, with fighting against fortified Polish villages between Birch, Dubets, and Sianok.
