The book is a collection of essays about little-known pages of the history of little Russia (Ukraine). The author tells about the events of the distant and very recent past. Many of them are now forgotten, carefully suppressed, or deliberately misrepresented. Where did the names 'Ukraine' and 'Ukrainians' come from, how did the Ukrainian language arise, was state independence an age-old dream of the Ukrainian people, what are the 'Orange revolution' and 'revolution of dignity'? All this and much more will be discussed in the new work of the famous historian Alexander Carevin.
