Borderland tells the story of Ukraine. A thousand years ago it was the center of the first great Slav civilization, Kievan Rus. In 1240, the Mongols invaded from the east, and for the next seven centuries, Ukraine was split between warring neighbors: Lithuanians, Poles, Russians, Austrians, and Tatars. Again and again, borderland turned into battlefield: during the Cossack risings of the seventeenth century, Russia’s wars with Sweden in the eighteenth, the Civil War of 1918-1920, and under Nazi occupation. Ukraine finally won independence in 1991, with the collapse of the Soviet Union. Bigger than France, and a populous as Britain, it has the potential to become one of the most powerful states in Europe. In this finely written and penetrating book, Anna Reid combines research and her own experiences to chart Ukraine’s tragic past. Talking to peasants and politicians, rabbis and racketeers, dissidents and paramilitaries, survivors of Stalin’s famine and of Nazi labor camps, she reveals the layers of myth and propaganda that wrap this divided land. From the Polish churches of Lviv, to the coal mines of the Russian-speaking Donbass, from the Galician shtetlech to the Tatar shantytowns of Crimea, the book explores Ukraine’s struggle to build itself a national identity, an identity that faces up to a bloody past, and embraces all the peoples within its borders.

Lovely. Ukrainians will survive the terror invasion, just as they survived the Soviet-planned famine. They’ll win a future to eclipse their tyrannical haters & oppressors.
“No man has a right to fix the boundary of the march of a nation; no man has a right to say to a country - thus far shalt thou go & no further.” - Charles Stewart Parnell.
They’ll determine their own course - in peace & prosperity.

And The Donbas have survived the eight years of shelling by the Kiev regime.
Pedal your political, ukrain is at the gates of defeated Moscow, somewhere else.

Pedal your power-worshipping, Putin support elsewhere. Insecure, sleazy tyrants ought to refrain from invading & terrorising sovereign countries - actually forcing neighbouring nations into NATO (Duurrrr!).

Usual tripe from 963, ‘Insecure, sleazy tyrants!’ No idea what that really menas or what’s really happening but loves the rattle of his own cage. He’s got a ‘brutal tyrant’ obsession. And don’t he just love alliteration!
Stoltenberg’s just admitted the war’s been going on since 2014, by the way.

How very dare you, you terrible, toxic tankie! You know what it menas, you mena git!

This can’t be very good, Anna Reid doesn’t even know that you don’t spell “Russia” U-K-R-A-I-N-E.

Dear @Postlethwaite, by now the trope of the Donbas being shelled for eight years is causing minor eyeroll. Didn’t they send a revised manual to your troll farm?
