Book Description
FOREWORD BY THE AUTHOR. Monument to Bogdan Khmelnitsky in Kiev - a monument to the hetman of Ukraine Bogdan Khmelnitsky. Solemnly opened on July 23 (July 11 according to the old style) in 1888 on Sophia Square in Kiev as part of the celebration of the 900th anniversary of the Baptism of Russia. It is one of the symbols of Kiev, a work of art of the XIX century. We will tell you a true story about the life of the Jewish population under the yoke of Bohdan Khmelnitsky. For many Jews, the second in hatred after Hitler is the Ukrainian Cossack hetman Bogdan Khmelnitsky. The rebellious Cossacks staged pogroms, smashed synagogues, burned holy books, and the Jews themselves were mercilessly killed. In the city of Nemirov alone, 16,000 Jews died in one day. Researchers of this period, especially Jewish ones, describe terrible pictures of the massacres of Ukrainian Cossacks against Jews. In fact, the eighth national Holocaust occurred in the history of the Jewish people. Detachments of peasants and townspeople smashed estates, killed Jewish managers and tenants. Jews died in large numbers in Pereyaslav, Piryatin, Lokhvitsa and Lubny. Jewish chroniclers describe the brutal reprisals against Jews in Nemirov, Tulchin, Polonnoy, Zaslavl, Ostrog, Staro-Konstantinov, Chernihiv, Starodub, Gomel in many other places. The day of the Nemirov massacre was celebrated among the Jews as a day of mourning for the events of 1648. The destruction of the Jewish population by the troops of Bogdan Khmelnitsky, in addition to physical destruction, set itself the goal of forcing the Jews to abandon their faith in the One Lord, the God of Israel. This is how the contemporary of these events, the historian and chronicler Nathan ben Moses Hanover (1610-1683), the Rabbi in Iasi, describes it: “Anyone who changes his faith will survive; let him sit under this banner.” Cossacks said to Jews. But no one (from the Jews) answered. Then he opened the gate of the garden and embittered Orthodox entered it and killed many Jews by all means of killing existing in the world. In the story of the defeat of Jewish communities by rebels, the author’s personal memoirs and eyewitness accounts are heard, written sources are cited. Jewish and Polish chronicles of the uprising underline the many victims. Estimates of up to 100,000 dead Jews are common in historical literature from the late 20th century.

Book Description
In the middle of the seventeenth century, Bohdan Khmelnytsky was the legendary Cossack general who organized a rebellion that liberated the Eastern Ukraine from Polish rule. Consequently, he has been memorialized in the Ukraine as a God-given nation builder, cut in the model of George Washington. But in this campaign, the massacre of thousands of Jews perceived as Polish intermediaries was the collateral damage, and in order to secure the tentative independence, Khmelnytsky signed a treaty with Moscow, ultimately ceding the territory to the Russian tsar. So, was he a liberator or a villain? This volume examines drastically different narratives, from Ukrainian, Jewish, Russian, and Polish literature, that have sought to animate, deify, and vilify the seventeenth-century Cossack. Khmelnytsky's legacy, either as nation builder or as antagonist, has inhibited inter-ethnic and political rapprochement at key moments throughout history and, as we see in recent conflicts, continues to affect Ukrainian, Jewish, Polish, and Russian national identity.

Book Description
Exploring alternatives in East European history. The battle that took place near Konotop in late June 1659 was a continuation of the Muscovite-Cossack war, which began in the fall of 1658, soon after the signing of the Union of Hadiach. Cossack and Tatar detachments trapped a significant portion of the Muscovite army, leading to enormous Russian losses.

Book Description
The question of where Russian history ends and Ukrainian history begins has not yet received a satisfactory answer. Generations of historians referred to Kyiv, the capital of Ukraine, as the starting point of the Muscovite dynasty, the Russian state, and, ultimately, the Russian nation. However, the history of Kyiv and that of the Scythians of the Northern Black Sea region have also been claimed by Ukrainian historians, and are now regarded as integral parts of the history of Ukraine. If these are actually the beginnings of Ukrainian history, when does Russian history start? In Ukraine and Russia, Serhii Plokhy discusses many questions fundamental to the formation of modern Russian and Ukrainian historical identity. He investigates the critical role of history in the development of modern national identities and offers historical and cultural insight into the current state of relations between the two nations. Plokhy shows how history has been constructed, used, and misused in order to justify the existence of imperial and modern national projects, and how those projects have influenced the interpretation of history in Russia and Ukraine. This book makes important assertions not only about the conflicts and negotiations inherent to opposing historiographic traditions, but about ways of overcoming the limitations imposed by those traditions.

Book Description
Ivan Mazepa (1639-1709), hetman of the Zaporozhian Host in what is now Ukraine, is a controversial figure, famous for abandoning his allegiance to Tsar Peter I and joining Charles XII's Swedish army during the Battle of Poltava. Although he is discussed in almost every survey and major book on Russian and Ukrainian history, Ivan Mazepa and the Russian Empire is the first English-language biography of the hetman in sixty years. A translation and revision of Tatiana Tairova-Yakovleva's 2007 Russian-language book, Ivan Mazepa and the Russian Empire presents an updated perspective. This account is based on many new sources, including Mazepa's archive - thought lost for centuries before it was rediscovered by the author in 2004 - and post-Soviet Russian and Ukrainian historiography. Focusing on this fresh material, Tairova-Yakovleva delivers a more nuanced and balanced account of the polarizing figure who has been simultaneously demonized in Russia as a traitor and revered in Ukraine as the defender of independence. Chapters on economic reform, Mazepa's impact on the rise to power of Peter I, his cultural achievements, and the reasons he switched his allegiance from Peter to Charles integrate a larger array of issues and personalities than have previously been explored. Setting a standard for the next generation of historians, Ivan Mazepa and the Russian Empire reveals an original picture of the Hetmanate during a moment of critical importance for the Russian Empire and Ukraine.
