From the publisher:

Independence did not fall from the sky - the statehood tradition has been living on our lands since Scythian times and did not actually stop until 1991. A brief and clear presentation of past events, together with illustrated stories, will allow readers to easily navigate such a complex issue as the origin of the Ukrainian state and the struggle for its establishment, and the pantheon of heroes will provide an example to follow. Monk Nestor, for example, studied the records of his predecessors and wrote The Tale of Bygone Years, and Archimandrite Petro Mohyla excavated the ruins of the Tithe Church. History and archeology have always gone hand in hand, giving us knowledge of how and why our ancestors lived, what they fought for, and what they dreamed of. And they help us find the answer to the question of why we are on this earth. Because the present grows out of the past. Just as we will continue our lives in the next generations.

History is not a set of facts and dates. It is a continuous process that does not stop for a moment. Anyone who understands it will be able to make the right choice today.

This is why, based on the works of the giants of Ukrainian history, archeology and ethnography, we have built this unified chain of past events that eventually led to the emergence of an independent state called Ukraine on the world map. Our Motherland.
