 A book on the history of Russia's undeclared wars against Ukraine in the twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. Having analysed the historical, political, geopolitical and ideological preconditions of the aggressive foreign policy of the Russian state entities - Muscovy, Russia, the RSFSR and the Russian Federation - towards Ukraine, its author, Professor Mykola Doroshko of Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, argues that the Russian authorities launched a war to destroy the Ukrainian state immediately after the declaration of its independence on 24 August 1991. The author of the monograph warns us all against repeating the tragic mistakes of many generations of Ukrainians who, due to underestimation of the predatory nature of Russian imperialism, paid the price of losing their independent statehood.
