Description
The author—former president of Ukraine—shares his views on the history of Ukraine, on events of the 20th century and recent years, and sets out his point of view on why Ukraine cannot be Russia, on differences between Ukrainian and Russian national characters, on different perspectives on cultural-historical past, and mutual claims.
At the book presentation in Moscow, Leonid Kuchma said:
<i>Our agenda includes a task that I described in this book, paraphrasing the words of a famous Italian: to create a Ukrainian. The danger of not returning to one’s Ukrainian identity is relevant for millions of Ukrainian citizens. Russian intellectuals are divided into those who wish us success in restoring and developing Ukrainian identity, and those who do not want it. It was once said about such people that the Russian democrat ends where the conversation about Ukraine begins.</i>
