A History of Ukraine: The Gates of Europe(an War) - part 10
Something of a Ukrainian history lesson, using Serhii Plokhy's 2015 book The Gates of Europe, and focused on matters relative to today's war, including Ukrainian cultural development and nationalism, Russian influence, the role of Jews in this history, and even the Ukrainian Greek Catholic or Uniate Church. Oh, and Austrian Galicia too.
The eighth thru tenth parts (and a bit of the eleventh) cover chapter 18 of the book, which addresses the beginnings of the world wars period and the rise of the first quasi-independent state of Ukraine, in various forms and with various influences. My view is that the author is addressing (or not, in one case) essentially four groups: the Russians and "Russo-philes" (mainly in the east), the ethnic Ukrainians in the west with significant Polish and Austrian (Galician) cultural influence, the Ashkenazi Jews, and the ethnic Ukrainians in the heartland (many looking like deer in the headlights).
