• Based on the broad Ukrainian historiography, this article examines the key points of Ukrainian history. As known, Vladimir Putin, the Russian dictator, used his own interpretation of Ukrainian history to justify the Russian military aggression on 24 February 2022. Within an ideological framework, the focal points of Ukrainian history detectable in Putin’s speech and the general Russian history narrative may even make sense. What are the focal points of Ukrainian history that make determining the historical discourse of the nation state of Ukraine so complicated and have paved the way for repeated encounters with Russia?
