Mussolini through the Eyes of Ukrainians is a book that can safely be called a causative agent of intellectual discomfort. It brings back into the context of the present day the controversial and condemned figure of the Italian dictator, revives the note of Mussolini's approving perception of the Ukrainian intellectual environments of the period between the World Wars. It also brings dissonance to the recently popular national liberation discourse of Ukrainians and identifies them as sympathetic to dictatorship and totalitarian social experiment.
The works presented in this book by Mikhail Ostroverkh and Svyatoslav Boyarich were published in 1934 and 1938 in the capital of Galicia. However, they were not destined to be in the public domain for long, as the Soviet occupation of Lviv in 1939 began with the shooting of politically unreliable prisoners and the burning of ideologically hostile literature. Since then, this layer of Ukrainian political thought has been lost. But the collection of Mussolini through the eyes of Ukrainians is a bold attempt to reconstruct it and recreate the atypical view of Benito Mussolini's historical figure.
