I was thrilled when I found out about this course through the Facebook page of the Ukrainian Institute, of which a relative of mine, Volodymyr Sheiko is the director. ,Although my ancestry is 50 % Ukrainian I did not know a great deal about the history, as my mother (first generation American) had a desire to become Anglicized after she became an adult.

This course gave me a basic understanding of the history of Ukraine and has instilled in me a desire to pursue more reading in depth with the fine and thorough bibilography. The lectures were excellent and I was pleased that I could return and re-read the text, timeline and glossary. I appreciated being able to view the fine professors who had great enthusiasm for this subject matter.

Thank you!

This course was incredibly well done. The instructors were quite good although I did struggle to understand them sometimes. The course work, notes, further reading is most beneficial and the the video images helped to understand the literature. I am most appreciative of all the lesson work that all the instructors and support staff did to bring this course to the Coursera knowledge base. Thank you.

I am so sad for Ukraine right now (Jan 2023) as the Russian continue to do destruction. This course has given me insight into the history of Ukraine leading up to this invasion. I know now that Ukraine has a long history of strife and I understand the Ukrainian peoples fierce nationality and sobeit. Long life Ukraine. Peace for Ukraine

During this course I renewed my knowledge of Ukrainian history, discovered similarities between historical processes of Ukraine and Western Europe and learned about life of cultural minorities in Ukraine. But first of all, it is a nice course to get acquainted with Ukrainian history. Thank you for such great work!

very interesting and educational! thank you for having subtitles, as sometimes the instructors' accents were a challenge for me to follow. The information they shared was very useful, and I'm glad to know more about the background of Ukraine now.

An informative course, especially for those who want to start studying the history of their native land.

Looking forward to more detailed courses.

Fantastic short course and I offer everyone who at least has a bit of interest in Ukraine to pass it. Glory to Ukraine.

An interesting and concise overview of Ukrainian history

EXCELLENT!!

Excellent course, just a bit too short!

When will you issue the certificate?

The course was too short, unfortunately some of the speakers were very difficult to understand. I would like to have a more in-depth history study, also studying Ukrainian art, music and culture in general and how it differentiates from Russian.
