Ukraine Historical Context: We all know Tarpley has gone off the deep end - - but this interview from 2017 is a must listen

[derek]

Tarpley, before his handlers got to him (or he lost his mind) described the historical context and geo-political reality of Ukraine better than any other non-written content produced on the internet during this 2017 Jeff Rense interview.

It speaks for itself. Ukraine is a fake country. It was created by Austrians and Germans to destroy Russia post WW1. The facts are indisputable and can be confirmed. The historical narrative starts about half way in. Give it a listen:

OP; You should come back after checking out the documentary "europa the last battle here on the Avalon library then come back and see how pathetic Tarpley always was. Limited hangout at best, delusional cult member at worst. Wonder what leverage the DNC has over him to endorse killary.

I will include at the bottom of this post, in PDF format, some 20 pages from a very useful resource that I became aware of while reading some of the Twitter posts (https://twitter.com/I_Katchanovski) by Ivan Katchanovski.

Who is he? His Wikipedia entry states (yes, I know, always take Wikipedia with a grain of salt):



Ivan Katchanovski (Ukrainian: Іван Гнатович Качановський; born 11 September 1967) is a Canadian political scientist. He teaches at the School of Political Studies at the University of Ottawa. Katchanovski specializes in research in democratization, comparative politics, political communication, and conflicts, in particular, in Ukraine, and especially the origins of the Russo-Ukrainian War and Donbas War, which he has characterized as a civil war rather than the result of Russian aggression.

He is one the co-authors of Historical Dictionary of Ukraine.

The second edition of the dictionary was published in 2013.

Here's a description (https://books.google.ca/books/about/Historical_Dictionary_of_Ukraine.html?id=-h6r57lDC4QC&redir_esc=y) of the book:



Ivan Katchanovski, Zenon E. Kohut, Bohdan Y. Nebesio, Myroslav Yurkevich
Scarecrow Press, Jul 11, 2013 - History - 992 pages

Although present-day Ukraine has only been in existence for something over two decades, its recorded history reaches much further back for more than a thousand years to Kyivan Rus’. Over that time, it has usually been under control of invaders like the Turks and Tatars, or neighbors like Russia and Poland, and indeed it was part of the Soviet Union until it gained its independence in 1991. Today it is drawn between its huge neighbor to the east and the European Union, and is still struggling to choose its own path… although it remains uncertain of which way to turn. Nonetheless, as one of the largest European states, with considerable economic potential, it is not a place that can be readily overlooked.

The problem is, or at least was, where to find information on this huge modern Ukraine, and since 2005 the answer has been the Historical Dictionary of Ukraine in its first edition, and now even more so with this second edition. It now boasts a dictionary section of about 725 entries, these covering the thousand years of history but particularly the recent past, and focusing on significant persons, places and events, political parties and institutions as well as more broadly international relations, the economy, society and culture. The chronology permits readers to follow this history and the introduction is there to make sense of it. It also features the most extensive and up-to-date bibliography of English-language writing on Ukraine.

And here are some of the professional reviews that I read on amazon:



This second edition of the Historical Dictionary of Ukraine has been eight years in the making. Katchanovski (Univ. of Ottawa) updates the first edition, published just after the Orange Revolution, to include events from this period. This new edition expands articles on people, places, and events of post-1991 Ukraine. Aside from these much-needed updates, the original text by the highly qualified team of Zenon Kohut (Univ. of Alberta), Bohdan Nebesio (Brock Univ.), and Myroslav Yurkevich (Canadian Institute of Ukrainian Studies Press) is mostly intact. The 700-plus entries are brief, but provide basic definitions and indicate the subjects' relevance to Ukrainian history. The excellent supplemental material includes maps, a list of abbreviations, a detailed but succinct chronology, an extensive bibliography, and a series of appendixes on post-1991 Ukraine (new to this edition). Boldface type indicates that a concept is mentioned elsewhere in the text, but sparse cross-referencing may make finding some topics confusing. For example, some topics often referred to by their Ukrainian names—Holodomor, Batkyvshchina, OUN (Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists)—are listed only under English headings. This dictionary will prove useful to a wide range of scholars interested in eastern Europe, European history, and modern European politics. Summing Up: Recommended. Lower-level undergraduates through researchers/faculty; general readers. ― Choice Reviews

Very topical for 2014 are the colorful biographies of Ukrainian oligarchs, whose stories of gaining incredible wealth often look like ready-made material for Hollywood thrillers. . . .The special article about corruption and its methods widens our understanding of the causes of the recent Ukrainian Revolution. The dictionary is so well-researched that it is difficult to find anything absolutely essential missing from it. From the first article. . . .to the last one about Zviahilsky, Yukhym, we are dealing with the high-quality product of careful academic research by four distinguished scholars. . . .Researchers, PhD students, journalists and other readers interested in Ukraine’s history will find this comprehensive volume a very useful resource. Contemporary events in Ukraine highlight the value of this volume of reference to every academic library. ― Reference Reviews


The digital and hardcover editions of the book are currently being sold sold for $168.40 and $196.51 respectively on amazon.com (!), but the book is available for online reading or for download as a PDF file on various web sites.

As mentioned above, I am uploading a full section from the book, consisting of a historical chronology of Ukraine (from the 6th century to 2012 - 20 pages)
(Sorry that the file is compressed, thus reducing its quality, but I had to do it to respect the size limit imposed by the Avalon File Upload Manager. Besides, I am not sure if it would have been OK to share the full book—considering copyright laws—but if Tintin ever reads this post and tells me to go ahead and email it to him—email because the file is too large to be uploaded as an attachment—I will gladly do it.).
