Here are some of the main posts in which I learn from the work of distinguished scholars on the troubled 20th-century history of Ukraine:

• Famine: Ukraine and China—Robert Conquest, Timothy Snyder, and Anne Applebaum
• See also A brave journalist.

• For Applebaum, see also Iron Curtain and Between East and West
• For Snyder, see Bloodlands, and On tyranny (including further readings)
• Philippe Sands: East West street, and The Ratline.

• Blind minstrels of Ukraine (William Noll)
• The great siege of Przemysl
• Ukraine: Holocaust Ground Zero.

Another fine perspective on the modern history of Ukraine, through its soundscape, is

• Maria Sonevytsky, Wild music: sound and sovereignty in Ukraine.

See also

• Ukraine: traditional soundscapes
• Ukraine: liturgy,
• and under Life behind the Iron Curtain.

Note also Parajanov‘s Ukrainian film Shadows of forgotten ancestors.
