“History of Ukraine from Grandfather Svyrid. Book 1”
The first volume of the book “History of Ukraine from grandfather Svyrid” by the Ukrainian blogger, known on the social network Facebook under the name “Svyrid Opanasovych”. The book is written in a style most similar to World History in the Satyricon.
 
However, the author’s presentation of the material is distinguished by a more scientific attitude to historical details, the depth of the analysis of cause-and-effect relationships, so it can be used as a reliable version of historical material not only for everyone who is simply interested in history, but also for pupils and students.
 
A feature of the author’s genre is the “revival” of historical heroes in the format of dialogues and the involvement of readers in the analysis of historical events. The first volume covers the period from the primitive people and the settlement of the territory of Ukraine until 1036.
 
“History of Ukraine from Grandfather Svyrid. Book 2″
The second book “History of Ukraine from grandfather Svyrid”, written at the request of many thousands of readers of the famous Facebook blogger Svyrid Opanasovich. The author’s signature style is strict adherence to historical truth, which, however, is presented in the light and witty form of a village grandfather’s story.
 
The historical events depicted by the author are full of humor and subtle irony, the historical characters are alive and lively communicate with each other. Also, the first book, published in 2016, quickly gained great popularity and received enthusiastic reviews from both the general readership and historians.
 
Can be used as a source of interesting historical material for pupils and students. The second book covers the period of the XI-XIV centuries, from Yaroslav the Wise to the Battle of the Blue Waters.
 
The text preserves the features of the author’s writing.
 
“History of Ukraine from Grandfather Svyrid. Book 3”
The third book “History of Ukraine from Grandfather Svyrid” covers the historical period from the Union of Krevs in 1385 to the Union of Brest in 1596.
 
For Europe, it was an era of geopolitical upheavals that directly affected Ukrainian lands, so the author analyzes the circumstances of the defeat of the Teutonic Order, the fall of Constantinople, the collapse of the Golden Horde, the consequences of the Great Geographical Discoveries, the Little Ice Age, etc. In this way, the reader’s understanding of the real historical circumstances under which the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth was born and the Zaporizhzhya Sich was established and strengthened is enriched.
 
Dozens of characters in the book — from Vytavyt and Tokhtamysh to Nalivaik and Kishka — are real historical figures whose figures are not idealized: the heroes and anti-heroes of Ukrainian history are described as living people.
 
The books of this series do not belong to the “folk history” genre, they consistently promote scientific views on history. The peculiar style of presentation of historical material on behalf of the village historian, grandfather Svyrid, adds color to the books, and therefore helps easier assimilation of large amounts of scientifically verified historical knowledge.
