| Summary |
"Abrégé de l'histoire de l'Ukraine" by Mykhailo Hrushevskyi is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The work aims to provide a comprehensive overview of Ukraine's history, filling a significant gap in historical literature by presenting the Ukrainian perspective and its historical significance to a broader audience. The opening of this historical account sets the stage by highlighting the importance of history in the Ukrainian national revival during the 19th century. Hrushevskyi emphasizes the lack of accessible works on Ukrainian history available in major European languages, despite the rich and heroic past of the nation. He explains the geographical context of Ukraine, indicating its role as a cultural and trade bridge between Europe and Asia, and introduces the reader to the early traces of civilization within Ukraine, hinting at the deep-seated historical and cultural roots that defined the Ukrainian identity. The beginning serves not only as an introduction to the topic but also as an invitation for readers to explore and understand the complexities of Ukraine's rich history.
