Situated between Central Europe, Russia, and the Middle East, Ukraine has been shaped by empires that exploited the nation as a strategic gateway between East and West\u2014from the Romans and Ottomans to the Third Reich and the Soviet Union. In <em>The Gates of Europe<\/em>, Plokhy examines Ukraine\u2019s search for its identity through the lives of major Ukrainian historical figures, from its heroes to its conquerors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This revised edition includes new material that brings this definitive history up to the present. As Ukraine once again finds itself at the center of global attention, Plokhy brings its history to vivid life as he connects the nation\u2019s past with its present and future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-wordpress wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-hachette-book-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"kKxjh2dvSF\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.basicbooks.com\/titles\/serhii-plokhy\/the-gates-of-europe\/9781541675643\/\">The Gates of Europe<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);\" title=\"&#8220;The Gates of Europe&#8221; &#8212; Hachette Book Group\" src=\"https:\/\/www.basicbooks.com\/titles\/serhii-plokhy\/the-gates-of-europe\/9781541675643\/embed\/#?secret=2N0pdbeQsC#?secret=kKxjh2dvSF\" data-secret=\"kKxjh2dvSF\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Vladimir Putin<\/strong>\u2019<strong>s Revisionist History of Russia and Ukraine<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>The historian Serhii Plokhy discusses the Russian President\u2019s \u201cvery imperial idea\u201d of his country, and the potential for Ukrainian resistance.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>By Isaac Chotiner<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>February 23, 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>The New Yorker<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>I recently spoke by phone with Serhii Plokhy, a professor of Ukrainian and Eastern European history at Harvard and the author of \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Gates-Europe-History-Ukraine\/dp\/1541675649?ots=1&amp;tag=thneyo0f-20&amp;linkCode=w50\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The Gates of Europe<\/a>,\u201d an account of the emergence of Ukrainian identity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newyorker.com\/news\/q-and-a\/vladimir-putins-revisionist-history-of-russia-and-ukraine\">https:\/\/www.newyorker.com\/news\/q-and-a\/vladimir-putins-revisionist-history-of-russia-and-ukraine<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":30142,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[8,3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-30141","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-knjige","category-novosti"],"acf":{"facebook_opis":""},"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/historiografija.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Plokhy.jpg?fit=1706%2C2560&ssl=1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/historiografija.hr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30141","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/historiografija.hr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/historiografija.hr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/historiografija.hr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/historiografija.hr\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=30141"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/historiografija.hr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30141\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":30143,"href":"https:\/\/historiografija.hr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30141\/revisions\/30143"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/historiografija.hr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/30142"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/historiografija.hr\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=30141"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/historiografija.hr\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=30141"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/historiografija.hr\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=30141"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
