The real history of the revolution, intervention and civil war in Ukraine is unknown to readers of Russia and other CIS countries. Soviet authors hushed up the history of the Ukrainian national movement, and the leaders of national parties fighting for the independence of Ukraine were branded as "enemies" of the Ukrainian people. Much was hidden in general (for example, the history of the Zanadnrukrainsky People's Republic). Contrary to true facts, Soviet historians argued that the Ukrainian people allegedly sought to unite with Russia, supported the Bolsheviks and the Soviet regime, fought with their own! nationalists. The author of the proposed book considers the history of Ukraine in the 20th century from a national perspective, while avoiding extremes in estimates.
