History of Ukraine from Grandfather Svirid. Book three

The third book "History of Ukraine from Grandfather Svirid" covers the period from the Krevsk Union in 1385 to the Brest Union in 1596. For Europe, it was an era of geopolitical upheavals that directly affected the Ukrainian lands, so the author analyzes the circumstances of the defeat of the Teutonic Order, the fall of Constantinople, the collapse of the Golden Horde, the consequences of the Great Geographical Discoveries, the Little Ice Age and more. This enriches the reader's idea of the real historical circumstances under which the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth arose and the Zaporozhian Sich arose and became stronger. Dozens of characters in the book - from Vytautas and Tokhtamysh to the princes of Ostroh, Nalyvayko and Kishka - are real historical figures whose figures are not intimidated: the author tells about the heroes and antiheroes of Ukrainian history as living people. The books in this series do not belong to the genre of "folk history", they consistently promote scientific views on history. The peculiar style of presenting historical material on behalf of the village historian, Svirid's grandfather, adds color to the books and helps to facilitate the assimilation of large amounts of scientifically verified historical knowledge. For a wide range of readers.
