'A thoroughly original monograph, one which should be of interest to a variety of specialists in the history of culture, religion, and society of any place where Orthodox Last Judgment Iconography has an impact. Himka’s excellent combination of art and social history is a sound reminder that before the late sixteenth century the easternmost and westernmost East Slavs shared a common cultural base.' - David Goldfrank, Canadian Slavonic Papers, vol 52:1-2:2010 ‘Well-researched and eminently readable monograph…This is a treatise about how we approach the study of history itself and especially Ukrainian history… It should be welcomed by Slavists, art historians, and religious scholars, who will find much of value in it.’- Patricia A. Krafcik (Journal of Ukrainian Studies vol 35-36:2010-2011)
