Ukraina i historien

The first comprehensive account in Swedish of the history of Ukraine — from earliest times to the present. Peter Johnsson follows the country through the realm of Kyiv, the centuries under foreign powers, the rise of the nation and the catastrophes of the twentieth century to independence in 1991.

The updated 2023 edition carries the story forward to Russia's full-scale invasion in 2022 and shows how deeply today's war is rooted in history. As early as 2015, Johnsson warned of what might come.
