Skoropadsky and Crimea. From opposition to joining

In 2014, Russia's annexation of Crimea ignited international fires. But this saga stretches back a century, to the crucible of World War I and the ashes of the Russian Empire. From its smoldering ruins, new states arose, including the young Ukrainian People's Republic.

This is where Serhii Gromenko's gripping narrative unfolds. He takes us back to those tumultuous years, revealing how the fledgling Ukrainian State and the international community grappled with the thorny question of Crimea's fate.
Gromenko dissects the various proposals tossed on the table, each charting a new course for the peninsula. He delves into the complex interplay of forces that ultimately left Ukraine powerless to hold onto Crimea.

More than just a historical account, this book is a compelling exploration of international relations, identity, and the enduring struggle for self-determination. It's a must-read for history buffs, those fascinated by geopolitics, and anyone seeking to understand the intricate web surrounding the Crimean question.
