"Formation of modern nations: Ukraine - Russia - Poland" presents the most important texts for understanding the role of Central-Eastern Europe by Harvard University professor Roman Iporlyuk. The essays are devoted to the recent history of Ukraine, Russia and Poland, which is considered in the context of the history of the whole region. They allow you to take a fresh look at the history of each of these countries in particular, and at the same time in their close interweaving. Roman Shporlyuk's interest geographically covers Central and Eastern Europe, historically - the modern era, thematically - national movements in this region, which are considered in the context of world history.
