Situated between Central Europe, Russia, and the Middle East, Ukraine has been shaped by empires that exploited the nation as a strategic gateway between East and West--from the Romans and Ottomans to the Third Reich and the Soviet Union. In The Gates of Europe, Plokhy examines Ukraine's search for its identity through the lives of major Ukrainian historical figures, from its heroes to its conquerors. This revised edition contains new material that brings this definitive history up to the present, from the election of Volodymyr Zelensky to the role of Ukraine in Trump's impeachment. As Ukraine once again finds itself at the center of global attention, Plokhy brings its history to vivid life as he connects the nation's past with its present and future."--Page 4 of cover. 505 00 $g Glossary. $t Who's who in Ukrainian history -- $g Chapter 1. $t The edge of the world ; $g Chapter 2. $t The advent of the Slavs ; $g Chapter 3. $t Vikings on the Dnieper ; $g Chapter 4. $t Byzantium North ; $g Chapter 5. $t The keys to Kyiv ; $g Chapter 6. $t Pax Mongolica -- $g II. $t East meets West. $g Chapter 7. $t The making of Ukraine ; $g Chapter 8. $t The Cossacks ; $g Chapter 9. $t Eastern reformations ; $g Chapter 10. $t The Great Revolt ; $g Chapter 11. $t The partitions ; $g Chapter 12. $t The verdict of Poltava -- $g III. $t Between the Empires. $g Chapter 13. $t The new frontiers ; $g Chapter 14. $t The books of the genesis ; $g Chapter 15. $t The porous border ; $g Chapter 16. $t On the move ; $g Chapter 17. $t The unfinished revolution -- $g IV. $t The wars of the world. $g Chapter 18. $t The birth of a nation ; $g Chapter 19. $t A shattered dream ; $g Chapter 20. $t Communism and Nationalism ; $g Chapter 21. $t Stalin's fortress ; $g Chapter 22. $t Hitler's Lebensraum ; $g Chapter 23. $t The victors -- $g V. $t The road to independence. $g Chapter 24. $t The Second Soviet Republic ; $g Chapter 25. $t Good bye, Lenin! ; $g Chapter 26. $t The Independence Square ; $g Chapter 27. $t The price of freedom ; $g Chapter 28. $t A new dawn -- $g Epilogue: $t The meanings of history -- $t Historical timeline -- $t Who's who in Ukrainian history -- $g Glossary. 651 0 $a Ukraine $x History. 651 0 $a Ukraine $x Politics and government. 651 0 $a Europe, Eastern $x History. 651 6 $a Ukraine $x Histoire. 651 6 $a Ukraine $x Politique et gouvernement. 651 6 $a Europe de l'Est $x Histoire. 650 7 $a HISTORY / Europe / Eastern. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a HISTORY / Russia & the Former Soviet Union. $2 bisacsh 651 7 $a Russie. $2 eclas 650 7 $a Politique eÌtrangeÌre. $2 eclas 651 7 $a European Union. $2 eclas 651 7 $a Union europeÌenne. $2 eclas 651 7 $a Russia. $2 eclas 650 7 $a Foreign policy. $2 eclas 650 7 $a European security. $2 eclas 651 7 $a Ukraine. $2 eclas 650 7 $a Politics and government $2 fast 651 7 $a Eastern Europe $2 fast 651 7 $a Ukraine $2 fast $1 https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/entity/E39PBJkMMfGYRhk8WcWRp3xJjC 655 7 $a Informational works $2 fast 655 7 $a History $2 fast 655 7 $a Informational works. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Documents d'information. $2 rvmgf 941 $a 1 $n 1 952 $l VXPE964 $d 20240219084737.0 $n 10 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=48F38642CF3111EE9084F518253FDB2A 994 $a C0 $b IOZInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
