Reviews

David Saunders:

'Plokhy's account of Hrushevsky's role in nationalizing the past of a part of Eastern Europe into "Ukrainian history," thereby "unmaking imperial Russia," is truly, as advertised, a fine piece of scholarship. A nuanced, complex analysis that cannot be summarized in a short review?'

Andrew Wilson:

'Serhii Plokhy is to be congratulated on producing a magisterial survey of Ukraine's "national historian" ... this is a book which matches up to the shape of Hrushevsky's work--a big and bold achievemnt.'

Hiroaki Kuromiya, Department of History, Indiana University:

?Plokhy masterfully synthesizes the bountiful material, incorporating new archival sources. It is unlikely that any treatment will ever rival this one in detail and understanding. He stays close to Hrushevsky's perspective, rendering what he saw and how he thought.?
