The Historical Dictionary of Ukraine, authored by Ivan Katchanovski, Zenon E. Kohut, Bohdan Y. Nebesio, and Myroslav Yurkevich, is a comprehensive reference work on Ukraine’s history. This second edition, published in 2013, contains over 725 entries that span more than a thousand years of Ukrainian history, with a particular focus on the period after Ukraine gained independence in 1991. The entries cover a wide range of topics, including significant historical figures, geographical locations, political events, economic developments, and cultural aspects of Ukraine. Additionally, it provides a detailed chronology, maps, and a substantial bibliography, making it a valuable resource for scholars, students, and anyone interested in Ukrainian history.
The book is particularly useful for understanding the complex history of Ukraine, from the era of Kyivan Rus’ to modern political struggles, including post-Soviet challenges. It also addresses major Ukrainian cultural, social, and political movements such as the Holodomor and the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists (OUN), with a broad perspective on Ukraine’s international relations and societal transformations.
