An informative look at Ukraine's history from the founding of Kievan Rus by Prince Volodomyr in the 11th C to the post-independence period updated recently to include the Maidan and the Russian invasion of Crimea and the Donbass. The author takes us on a journey around Ukraine using her conversations and experiences in the early 90s in Ukraine as the frame of reference to introduce different historical periods and moments. It is at times light and curious but of course delves into Ukraine's darkest historic periods.
