How did we end up on February 24, 2022? How did this even become possible? The Russian historical narrative is built on myths: about the unity of the Ukrainian and Russian peoples, about certain ancestral Russian territories, about the traitor Mazepa and the terrible Banderaites and about the greatness of the beautiful invincible empire. These myths were formed and supported by Russian historians, poets, writers and rulers. Vladimir Putin believed in these myths and became obsessed with them. It's high time to debunk these myths. In his book, Mikhail Zygar tells how relations between Ukraine and Russia have developed over 350 years. But it shows this not through the history of states, parties or organizations, but through the stories of people. Hetmans Bogdan Khmelnytsky and Kirill Razumovsky, poets Taras Shevchenko and Vasyl Stus, political figures Mykhailo Grushevsky and Stepan Bandera. But the main character of the book is Vladimir Zelensky, a former comedian and now the most popular politician in the world, a symbol of Ukrainian resistance to Russian aggression. The destinies of the heroes of this book are stories of love, passion, courage, resistance to despotism, and the struggle for their national identity and freedom. For this book, Mikhail Zygar studied hundreds of historical sources, and also interviewed key Ukrainian and Russian businessmen and politicians.
