The historical dictionaries present essential information on a broad range of subjects, including American and world history, art, business, cities, countries, cultures, customs, film, global conflicts, international relations, literature, music, philosophy, religion, sports, and theater. Written by experts, all contain highly informative introductory essays of the topic and detailed chronologies that, in some cases, cover vast historical time periods but still manage to heavily feature more recent events.
Brief AZ entries describe the main people, events, politics, social issues, institutions, and policies that make the topic unique, and entries are cross-referenced for ease of browsing. Extensive bibliographies are divided into several general subject areas, providing excellent access points for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more. Additionally, maps, photographs, and appendixes of supplemental information aid high school and college students doing term papers or introductory research projects. In short, the historical dictionaries are the perfect starting point for anyone looking to research in these fields.

Editors Foreword
Ukraine, like most other new states in Central and Eastern Europe, is exceedingly fortunate to have recovered its independence. In this case, even more than the others, lucky is not the correct word, since its people have fought for the right to govern themselves for centuries, and for centuries they have been subject to othersworse, to various combinations of otherswith assorted parcels of territory under the control of stronger, predatory neighbors including Poland-Lithuania, Austria-Hungary, Germany, the Ottoman Empire, and, of course, the Russian Empire and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, all of which treated the locals poorly and sometimes outright cruelly. Alas, the new Ukraine is still not in an enviable position, owing to inexperience in governing a state, economic imbalances, and a decayed infrastructure, which is only exacerbated by ethnic and regional differences, corruption, and often nasty quarrels between political leaders and their parties. And it has yet to decide between a still dominant Russia and a West that is not as welcoming as hoped. If there is progress, and sometimes there is, it tends to be slow and hesitant and all too often illusory and reversed. Still, if nothing else, at least now it is the Ukrainians themselves who make the decisions and the mistakes.
If Ukraine were not such a large, strategically located, and in some ways potentially rich country it could be overlooked. But that would be very foolish. It would be equally foolish not to learn more about it, which is why this second edition of the Historical Dictionary of Ukraine is particularly welcome. It looks beyond the headlines, many of which are negative, to consider where the present state has come from and the various stages it has gone through from a time when it was just a place known as the Ukraine that belonged to someone else. This long and complicated history is traced meticulously in the chronology, and a global overview is then provided by the introduction. Without the list of acronyms, one could not get far in reading about it. But the most important section as usual is the dictionary, with about 750 often extensive entries on significant persons, places, and events; secular and religious institutions; cities, regions, and other places; economic, social, and cultural aspects; and more sadly the numerous wars and other disasters Ukraine has undergone. Finally, readers are directed to an impressive list of useful sources in an extensive bibliography.
