Vaughn Marc M.. The History of Ukraine and Russia: The Tangled History That Led to Crisis. History Demystified,2022. — 164 p.. 2022

Clambering around the bombed ruins and smoking carcasses of Russian tanks in Lukyanivka, UN officials and global media reporters are trying to make sense of Russia’s “four-day special military operation” in Ukraine. As I write, the Russian forces have been driven back from Kyiv, and are consolidating for a push to gain full control of the Donbas region of Eastern Ukraine. It’s a messy war in the springtime slush and snow. Why? The history of wars in Ukraine is (sort of) like the playing of a chess game. Queens invade and knights defend. Pawns are sacrificed and Bishops swoop like black ravens over the fields of the dead. Kings plot and mutter in their castles, while enemies besiege their walls. The great difference is that in wars, the victors take away with them parts of the chess board itself, and assemble their own patch-worked boards for others to challenge them on.
