A fascinating look at the history of the country we now know as Ukraine. It really puts into perspective why they continue the fight for their freedom against the Russians.

It was fascinating to learn some of the history of the Ukraine, especially in light of the ongoing invasion by Russia which is so often on the news.

This is a short but comprehensive overview. It provides a broad picture of what certain long time periods were like, and it highlights key issues. The professors are Ukranians who specialize in specific periods of history. The reason for 4 instead of 5 stars is there were only two methods of instruction: watching videos of the professors speaking and reading transcripts of what they said.

It wasn't a very interesting course. But the questions were easy. The speakers are great. One of them need to work with pronunciation. I hope later you will organise courses for specific epochs with interesting presentation. Good luck.
