Humanity and Ukraine: Resistance through Language, Culture, and Taking up of Armsis dedicated to a nation under siege, the Ukrainian heroes, who stood up to fight for the freedom and independence of Ukraine and to resist the Russian occupiers when the rest of the world believed in the embedded myth that the Russian army was the 'second army in the world.' This recounts the legendary courageous fighting and resistance by the Ukrainian military and civilians against the Russian invaders waging war on Ukraine. The book analyses the long history of Ukraine, starting with Kyivan Rus, when the Russian invaders tried to steal and rewrite Ukrainian history, through to the current situation of threat to Ukrainian culture and educational institutions, including museums, archives, and libraries. All of this continue to be under systematic and ruthless enemy fire and are subjected to looting and destruction by the occupiers. Ukrainians continue to act to create archival exhibitions, to resist and above all to fight. The book also analyses the plight of Ukrainian war refugees in host countries, of the Crimean Tatars in Russian occupied Crimea and the prospects for Ukraine as a thriving country within Europe and the world after the Ukrainian victory.

Recenzii

No one has the right to destroy a culture for whatever reason. No one wants to be deprived of the land they were born and raised in and call their homeland. In this book, my friend and colleague Dr Oksana Koshulko bears witness to one of the ugliest wars of the 21st century as a Ukrainian academic and citizen. I understand Dr Koshulko very well as an earthquake survivor from Antakya and a live witness to the sad stories of Syrian refugees. I cried when I read in the newspaper about the bombing of Lviv, a city I had visited and admired for a project many years ago. There are no winners in war and there never have been.... This book will be a source of reference for those who want to get to know the history of Ukraine closely, to witness Russia-Ukraine relations with the comments of experts, and to learn how Ukrainians and Crimean Tatar Turks experienced the most cruel face of the war, migration. Wishing for a world without war....

This significant book gives a versatile and touching knowledge of the effects of the Russian war of aggression in Ukraine. Humanity and Ukraine: Resistance Through Language, Culture, and the Taking Up of Arms also sheds light on the future of Ukraine as a potential EU member state.
Dr Oksana Koshulko should be applauded for editing an essential volume for anyone looking to fathom the enormity of the consequences for Russia's brutal assault on Ukraine. From chronicling the savage attacks on civilian populations, to the destruction of vital infrastructure, to the assault on cherished national treasures, to the day-to-day suffering of the ordinary Ukrainians, Crimean Tatars, and other communities, to the predicament of refugees and the kind people who have offered help outside Ukraine, this book leaves no stone unturned. And it goes beyond superb analysis of the consequences for Ukraine and Ukrainian people fighting against the unprovoked Russian aggression. The war, as the contributors demonstrate, is already profoundly reshaping the political and security architecture of the European Union.
