Ukraine’s Fateful Years 2013–2019: Vol. I: The Popular Uprising in Winter 2013/2014

This book provides a detailed narrative analysis of the historic events in and around Ukraine from 2013 to 2019. These years were almost as significant for Ukraine as the achievement of independence in 1991. That was because Ukraine was in danger of losing its independence again after the victory of the Euromaidan Revolution of 2013–2014.
