Civilizational Influences and Their Unprejudiced Coverage in Ukrainian History Textbooks

Viktor Kotsur, Vasyl Balukh, Mykhailo Yurii

Abstract


The proposed review is devoted to an unbiased coverage in Ukrainian textbooks of the history of civilizational influences, namely: Kyiv's cultural tradition in European society since Ancient Rus and prominent cultural and artistic figures of Western Europe in Ukraine. Proponents of Eurasian integration claim that Ukraine had nothing to do with Europe, this thought is rejected. Numerous examples confirm Ukraine’s intensive ties with European states, its original ethnocultural space in Europe.
