In the context of its imperial ambitions, Russia’s main project is to enslave Ukraine and end its existence as a state. It is the duty of all patriots to counteract this in five interrelated directions: military, economic, diplomatic, informational, and cultural. The last two directions are no less important than the others. Mykol’s book clearly characterizes Moscow’s attempt to gradually destroy Ukrainian identity through propaganda and illustrates Ukraine’s informational struggle against foreign occupation. —Victor Yushchenko, President of Ukraine in 2005–2010
