This monograph explores the recent political history of Ukraine from a novel diachronic and comparative point of view. A largely unknown period of history for non-Ukrainians, the Ukrainian People’s Republic (UPR), which emerged at the end of World War I, is today still a hot topic for Ukrainians. The years of 2013–2022 were an equally dramatic period with a number of unsolved problems and conflicts, while the large Russian invasion into Ukraine since February 2022 marks a new epoch, which is impossible to assess yet. The periods of 1917–1921 and 2013–2022 exhibit both, astonishing similarities and deep differences. The UPR period was one of the few times when the Ukrainian nation gained full political autonomy as a separate state. That is why the story of this book resonates with the thoughts and feelings of many citizens of Ukraine. It presents an insightful glance into different stages of recent Ukrainian history for a non-Ukrainian audience. Petik highlights why and how the UPR is not only important for academic history but also for the identity and self-perception of the Ukrainian nation.

"An interesting view on the connection of the recent history of Ukraine and the
period of the beginning of the XXth century."
Viktor Sharpatiy, Doctor of Historical Sciences, Professor, Chair of History and Socio-Political Disciplines at the Historical Faculty of the Ukrainian State University named after Mykhailo Dragomanov.
"The book is an original comprehensive comparative-analytical study of the historical and political diachrony of events in modern Ukrainian history – two pivotal epochs in the statehood of contemporary Ukraine and tectonic shifts in the European security system."
Pavlo Hai-Nyzhnyk is a Doctor of Historical Sciences, a leading research fellow at the Ivan Kuras Institute of Political and Ethnonational Studies of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, and the President of the Ukrainian Academy of Geopolitics and Geostrategy.
"The events of 1917–1921 and 2013–2022 are primarily linked by their profound internal existential significance for Ukrainian statehood and Ukrainian society. In this case, as can be gleaned from the presented book, history serves not only as a means of comprehending and understanding the past, but also as a delicate instrument for constructing the future."
Troian Sergiy Stanislavovych, Doctor of Historical Sciences, Professor, Chair of International Relations and Strategic Studies at the National Aviation University (Kyiv, Ukraine); Professor at the Jagiellonian University (Kraków, Republic of Poland).
