Description
When the Russian Federation launched its invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022, it was not a surprising act but a consequence of long-standing tension. In the updated edition of the book, journalist and publicist Milan Syruček attempts to uncover how far the roots of the current conflict reach. ***** Since the reign of Tsar Ivan III until the mid-20th century, the Russian and then Soviet empires expanded at the expense of their neighbors at a speed of 80 kilometers per day, as historians calculated. Ukraine is today another victim of Russian expansionism. Indeed, it has been many times. In this book, the author explains in detail why Russia believed, and still believes today, that no independent Ukraine ever existed, that it was always Rus, more precisely, Little Rus.
