The titanic work of James Mace, a well-known American researcher of Ukrainian history and prominent public figure, is dedicated to revealing the integrity and completeness of the historical truth about the most horrific pages of the totalitarian past, which still paralyses the political, economic, educational, moral and ethical life of Ukrainian society. The articles presented in this publication provide a thorough analysis of the reasons for the failures of the Ukrainian national liberation struggle in the early twentieth century, revealing the terrifying mechanics of the totalitarian Stalinist power machine. The author, a brilliant scholar of the Western standard, defends the truth about the artificiality and anti-Ukrainian orientation of one of the greatest genocides in history - the Holodomor of 1932-1933, documents the inextricable relationship between the past, present and future of Ukraine, which is characterised by the desire for state independence and social progress. It brings to us the voice of a generation of our compatriots who tell us how the Ukrainian nation-state was destroyed, reveals the nature, scale and reasons for the Kremlin's terrorist policy towards Ukraine. The collection also contains articles about the painful points of our time: the formation of civil society, economic, political, cultural, and educational problems, covered on the basis of a huge factual base from a historical perspective.

The only urgently needed reform programme for the people and the state is to bring Ukraine out of post-genocide, out of the vicious circle of the idol, which the author outlines in his articles.

For historians, journalists, students and anyone interested in the history and present of Ukraine.
