A Village in Revolutionary Ukraine is a history from below par excellence. It brings together a historical source and commentary to show how one of the most tumultuous periods of the 20th-century history was experienced in the Ukrainian-Russian borderlands, while also correcting misperceptions produced by writing and reading history from the perspective of centers and elites. A unique insight into the history of Ukraine and Europe. —Serhii Plokhy, Professor of Ukrainian History, Harvard University
