Переяславська Рада 1654 року

Description

The collection of essays in The Pereiaslav Treaty of 1654 illuminates and clarifies the agreement between Bohdan Khmelnytsky and Muscovite Tsar Aleksei Mikhailovych. Part 1 is divided into two sections: the first contains five republished scholarly essays that appeared between 1910–1950s, while the second part contains five articles of political commentary and interpretation that appeared from the last quarter of the 19th century to the 1970s. Among these is Mykhailo Braichevsky’s “Annexation or Reunion?” that circulated in Ukraine in manuscript form and was published only outside of the Soviet Union in the 1970s. This edition also contains the record of the Institute of History’s meetings that condemned Braichevsky as well as Braichevsky’s answers to his critics. Part 2 contains six essays of contemporary historians on Ukrainian, Russian, Polish, and English-language historiography examining the Pereiaslav Treaty of 1654, its causes and consequences. Part 3 contains five new scholarly studies exploring the origins, events, and significance of the Pereiaslav Treaty. A twenty-two page name index completes this impressive and handsome volume.
