Subjectivity mused a Polish historian friend when we spoke about the Maidan I haven t thought about that word since the days of Solidarity English More like a 3. The Ukrainian nightcafe 5 bookMarci Shore knows her stuff and definitely writes a perfectly good intimate history of the Revolution of Dignity But as much as I loved The Taste of Ashes The Afterlife of Totalitarianism in Eastern Europe I was disappointed in her Ukrainian text. Book the ukrainian night club At some point it becomes too intimate too subjective For somebody completely unfamiliar with the Ukrainian Maidan events the book would be a good introduction A knowledgeable audience might be struck by its naivete I would have preferred The Ukrainian Night to be of an analysis of what has happenned rather than a mere recount of the events of the Maidan Crimea annexation and the war with Russia. Book the ukrainian nightlife The same is applicable to Snyder s The Road to Unfreedom to which I gave 4 for simply being grounded in the historical context albeit of a questionable sort anyway English The first half consists of moving oral histories well curated and integrated of Ukrainians who participated in the 2014 Revolution of Dignity Shore is an academic who takes a wider view of revolution its transient spirit you had to be there as well as its lasting psychological impact having been there you will never be the same This comes in the form of allusions and resonant quotations than lengthly analysis I found this mostly interesting though at times it came close to getting on my nerves trees are trustworthy than forests The second half is about Crimea and the ongoing conflict in the Donbas It s thematically diffuse but offers much insight into current events Recommended English An odd one beautifully written her Caviar and Ashes is one of the best books on the interwar avantgarde and very sympathetic in the first half on the sheer complexities of the Maidan I found much of the second half on eastern Ukraine rather hard to take though that may be irritation at the views reported than a flaw in the writing itself English Naprawd bardzo wa na ksi ka Shore potrafi dotrze do sedna sprawy i pozornie nieistotnych aktor w a tak e nakre li szeroki kontekst spo eczno historyczny I to przy u yciu minimum s w English The Ukrainian Night: An Intimate History of Revolution.
