Description
Book SynopsisBetween 1917 and 1923, invasion, revolution, war, and grim living conditions claimed unimaginable numbers of Ukrainian lives. Velychenko examines the social background to the political history of revolutionary Ukraine, documenting the country's demographic losses during the Ukrainian and Russian revolutions.
Trade Review"Life and Death in Revolutionary Ukraine is the first scholarly attempt, in any language, to systematically tackle the issues of social conditions and violence against civilians in revolutionary Ukraine. This book is a welcome addition to the study of Europe's continuum of upheaval and crisis, which in Eastern Europe continued until 1922–23. It also places the Ukrainian experience in the context of anti-colonial wars for national liberation and, hence, global history." Borislav Chernev, author of Twilight of Empire: The Brest-Litovsk Conference and the Remaking of East-Central Europe, 1917–1918
“Anyone who studies violence should read this book.” University of Toronto Quarterly
