The best history course about Ukraine
Particular course is the best course about history of Ukraine I ever heard or studied, including the one I took in university.
Thank you so much for such tremendous and wide historical course about the country and Ukrainians as a nation! Especially for public access to it.
The more civilized world knows about Ukraine the better, more chances everyone will stop tying Ukrainians and moscowites.
