Prominent French academic Daniel Beauvois talks about quasi-patriotism, national heroes, distorted myths and the status of historical science in Ukraine Mr. Beauvois describes his nearly three-decade long work in the archives of France, Poland, Lithuania, Ukraine and Russia as the collecting of rocks on the Moon. His tough and unbiased research of Ukrainian, Polish and Russian relations have shaped an innovative vision of Ukrainian history, yet provoked a conflict between himself and the advocates of various national perspectives, especially the pro-Russian one. However, this does not bother the professor all that much. He continues to research and analyze the social, economic and cultural process of our past... |

“We must openly state that no American should participate in meddling in the internal affairs of other countries. Of course, we all dislike the abhorrent bolshevism and its sinful work in Russia and all over the world, but this does not mean that we should also hate Russia and her people. In trying to destroy bolshevism, we have no right whatever to undermine the former Great Russian Empire by striving, as the Ukrainian separatists do (assisted by good and honest, but misled Americans), to detach from her the 'Little-Russia' (known at present as the ‘Ukraine’) only because some arrogant Galician aggressors, instigated by Polish and Austro-German enemies, deliberately changed ‘Little Russia’ into ‘Ukraine.’” ... |

The desire seems to be so strong that the Polish president Bronislaw Komorowski did not hesitate, back in June at the Global Forum in Wroclaw, to praise Ukraine’s democratization and European integration efforts... |

While events in the Middle East and the Greek financial meltdown continue to monopolise the EU’s agenda, important developments are also taking place in the EU’s Eastern neighborhood as the EU enters the latter stages of negotiating a Deep and Comprehensive Free Trade Agreement (DCFTA) with Ukraine. Conclusion and implementation of the DCFTA will not only offer Ukraine a stake in the EU’s single market and significantly strengthen Kyiv’s ties with the bloc, it will also send a clear-cut message that Ukraine’s course towards European integration is irreversible as it will clearly signal the geostrategic choice of the country... |
