This book examines the diary of a “common man,” Kostiantyn Sambursky, that stands out among the very few such known works. It provides a detailed account of daily events for almost 10 years in one village: Huzhivka in Chernihiv province.The diary describes the comings and goings of rival armies, confiscations, requisitions, the activities of the local officials, the role of the church in local affairs, personal rivalries, and how land re-allocation occurred in this settlement of approximately 3,000 people. The diary provides invaluable insight into the human element of rural revolutionary Ukraine.

A Village in Revolutionary Ukraine is a history from below par excellence. It brings together a historical source and commentary to show how one of the most tumultuous periods of the 20th-century history was experienced in the Ukrainian-Russian borderlands, while also correcting misperceptions produced by writing and reading history from the perspective of centers and elites. A unique insight into the history of Ukraine and Europe.
—Serhii Plokhy, Professor of Ukrainian History, Harvard University
