The new issue of “History Lessons with Tamara Eidelman” is dedicated to the history of Ukraine in the late 17th – 18th centuries, a difficult time when the lands that became part of the Russian Empire were gradually losing their rights and, finally, became part of the empire like other lands. This is an era of controversial personalities, such as Hetman Mazepa, and events that historians evaluate very differently. BOOKS: N.I. Kostomarov. Mazepa. A.S. Pushkin. Poltava. S. Plokhy.
