Reviews

'This study on Ukrainian nationalism fills an important research gap and covers an enormous amount of original historical and political material. … All in all, this is a book that will soon be a standard item in the field of Ukrainian studies. In many ways it can even be used as a kind of encyclopaedia.' Gwendolyn Sasse, London School of Economics
