Inside the historical atlas of Ukraine

Nikolai Zharkikh

The review considered the publication:

Istorichny Atlas of Ukraine: naydavnіshe mynule. Rus' (Kyivska derzhava. Galytsko-Volynska derzhava) / project manager Yuri Loza. – K.: Mapa, 2010 p. – 300 p. (Historical atlas of the ukraine. The earliest time. Rus)

We consider the following issues: the concept and structure of the atlas; the news of unknown; some shortcomings; poetry of borders; the political development of Russia; Volyn (Galician) Power; language issues; genealogical questions; issues of culture; the Mongols and the Golden Horde; who is to blame and what to do.

Atlas brings a certain result by mapping the study of ancient (until the late 14th century) history of Ukraine. Its shortcomings reflect the general state of knowledge of these phases of history.
