Ukraine is the birthplace of the Ukrainian and Russian people.
For Russian readers of history, it raises the question: If Russia started in Ukraine, why isn’t it still part of Russia? It is a territory that has been fought over since time immemorial, claimed and counterclaimed by invaders for millennia. Ukraine’s boundaries have sometimes been determined by Ukrainians. Mostly, however, it has been given its shape by those who fought each other over it. For a Ukrainian, reading the history of the region provokes the question: Do we belong to ourselves, or to some other world power?What happened to Ukraine next was uncounted generations of pain, as the once-great Viking nation fell into bondage under wave upon wave of aggressors.
