Intellectual History
Purpose
After completing my General History Notes on Ukraine in which I outline the basic history of the country, I'll now go through a variety of documents central to Ukrainian though ranging from 1710 to 1995. I'll give brief historical context, summarize the content of the document and provide commentary when appropriate.
Disclaimers: Though I will attempt to make the historical context clear, I recommend you being well informed on Ukrainian History to fully get these documents. The interpretations of these texts are my own, and any flaws are my own responsibility. I have no formal education in this field and might revisit these notes in the future.
