The History of Undefeated. Ukraine in Defense of the European Civilization

The Russian invasion of Ukraine has become the biggest European conflict since World War II and shocked Western politicians, who to the last denied its reality.
However, this war did not arise spontaneously. It was due to the nature of Russia and the role Ukraine plays in the Russian imperial myth.
At the same time, the war was not inevitable – it was made so by the refusal of the collective West to acknowledge the growing Russian imperial resentment and neglecting Vladimir Putin’s warnings to challenge the existing world order.
The history of relations between Ukraine and Russia is the continuous aspiration of the latter to vanish a Ukrainian identity, subjugate Ukraine to the Kremlin’s imperialism ambitions, and use the country’s human, intellectual, scientific, and industrial potential for expansion in the West. This book addresses the key milestones in Ukraine-Russian affairs during the 13th and early 21st centuries, answering when the civilization divergence happened between future Ukrainian and Russian nations, why Russia became an anti-European state, and how Russian exceptionalism clashes with the idea of free and sovereign Ukraine.
