CHOOSING FREEDOM IN UKRAINE HISTORICAL ROOTS AN...

When Russia expanded its war against Ukraine in early 2022  many Western observers expected the
country to surrender within moments. But Ukrainians are fighting resolutely for their
freedom-once again. This text explores Ukrainian conceptions of freedom  starting with the
Cossacks  but placing a clear emphasis on events since 1991. Writer and historian Olesya
Khromeychuk argues that the roots of Ukrainians' contemporary resilience can be found in a
long-standing rejection of imperialist oppression. She relates these concepts of Ukrainian
freedom  mirrored in her own history  in a courageously personal manner. In this way  she
renders accessible the history of a country about which there is too little knowledge in many
parts of the West
