A History of Ukraine: The Gates of Europe(an War) - part 11

2 years ago
25

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.

This 11th part finishes chapter 18 and the end of WWI and then covers the first half of chapter 19 of the book, which begins the addressing of the civil wars period, both in Galicia and Ukraine proper - again with significant emphasis on the Galician Ruthenians. The next video will cover the rest of chapter 19 and finally the covering of the Jewish Question during this period in the book - in mostly unsurpising ways.
