The fight against the Kyiv directory. 1918-1919. Likholat A.V.

The most difficult period of the history of Ukraine - the time of constant wars, upheavals and invidity - lasted from 1917 to 1922. The author examines in detail the socio-political situation in Ukraine of these years, focusing not only on the actions of the blocked forces, but also carefully analyzing the actions of the German occupation troops, interventionists of the Entente and Petliur detachments. Despite the use of a large number of propaganda stamps and the coverage of the situation in the light favorable for the Bolsheviks, he does not try to cover the facts or bypass the controversial moments of the historical process, trying to describe the events that took place in Ukraine as much detail as possible. The light style of the presentation of serious material allows readers not to get confused in complex academic formulations, but also amazing, sometimes the seemingly incredible coincidence of some slogans, motives and events of the beginning of the 20th century with those of which we are.
