Awesome interview. A syllabus for a college course could be created from this vlog.

This was a fascinating discussion, including putin's misunderstanding and misrepresenting of Ukraine's russian-speaking Ukrainian patriots. Слава Україні! 🇺🇦 🇨🇦 🇬🇧

Thanks for ur Channel Orest Zub..I was fascinated by ur family history..I had some idea that border's had moved from east to west markedly, but little idea of the population transfer in the late 1940's, between Poland & Ukraine & vice versa...extraordinary!!
Again thankyou...

Hey Taras - it would be interesting to hear more about the smuggling of press and books into Ukraine in the 80s, who you worked with, who your Polish partners were, etc.

[KamskiStudio]

So interesting, I get to know so many new facts about Ukraine :)

[jeremyraine]

As well..some further reading, to anyone interested..
Norman Davies " Vanished Kingdoms..The History of Half - Forgotten Europe..( Allen Lane 2011..Penguin 2012 )
Obviously written from a " British " perspective, still informative & well written...
The reason i'm including this reference is Chptr 9..Galicia : Kingdom of the Naked & Starving 1773-1918..
An outline of what became Western Ukraine following WW2...it brought home to me the complexity of the region...
As well..
Chptr 5..Litva : A Grand Duchy with Kings..1253 - 1795
Chptr 7 : Borussia : Watery Land of the Prusai..1230 - 1945
Chptr 13 : Rusyn : The Republic of One Day..15 March 1939
...if anybody reading these page's isn't amazed at the complexity of this region's history, I don't know what could convince you...!!
Highly recommended!!
Slava Ukraine!!
