內容簡介

歐洲之門:烏克蘭

烏克蘭,一個為了國家主權歷經漫長奮鬥的國家。
了解她的過去,我們才能預測她的未來...



夾在中歐、俄羅斯和中東之間數百年來,烏克蘭是東西方文化、種族、語言、和政治體制的交匯口。

在烏克蘭,有人說烏克蘭語,也有人說俄語;街上可以看到天主教堂,也可見東正教堂。
她是數百萬猶太人的家;同時邊境地區,也盤據由游牧民族、基督教、伊斯蘭教混和下的產物:一支名為Cossacks,令人聞風喪膽的兇猛戰士。


幾世紀以來,統治者不斷流轉,唯一不變的,是認定其重要的戰略地位。
作者檢視烏克蘭史上幾位代表性人物,探索其背後之於烏克蘭歷史的重要影響。

作者認為:今日的烏俄之戰,無疑是歷史不斷輪迴重演的悲劇。
這次,烏克蘭再次處於全球地緣政治中心。
而全世界,也一起捲入這冷戰後,最難預測的世紀動盪。


"An exemplary account of Europe's least-known large country " (Wall Street Journal) by an award-winning historian.
Ukraine is currently embroiled in a tense fight with Russia to preserve its territorial integrity and political independence. But today's conflict is only the latest in a long history of battles over Ukraine's territory and its existence as a sovereign nation. As the award-winning historian Serhii Plokhy argues in The Gates of Europe, we must examine Ukraine's past in order to understand its present and future.

Situated between Central Europe, Russia, and the Middle East, Ukraine was shaped by the empires that used it as a strategic gateway between East and West--from the Roman and Ottoman empires to the Third Reich and the Soviet Union. For centuries, Ukraine has been a meeting place of various cultures. The mixing of sedentary and nomadic peoples and Christianity and Islam on the steppe borderland produced the class of ferocious warriors known as the Cossacks, for example, while the encounter between the Catholic and Orthodox churches created a religious tradition that bridges Western and Eastern Christianity. Ukraine has also been a home to millions of Jews, serving as the birthplace of Hassidism--and as one of the killing fields of the Holocaust.

Plokhy examines the history of Ukraine's search for its identity through the lives of the major figures in Ukrainian history: Prince Yaroslav the Wise of Kyiv, whose daughter Anna became queen of France; the Cossack ruler Ivan Mazepa, who was immortalized in the poems of Byron and Pushkin; Nikita Khrushchev and his protege-turned-nemesis Leonid Brezhnev, who called Ukraine their home; and the heroes of the Maidan protests of 2013 and 2014, who embody the current struggle over Ukraine's future.

As Plokhy explains, today's crisis is a tragic case of history repeating itself, as Ukraine once again finds itself in the center of the battle of global proportions. An authoritative history of this vital country, The Gates of Europe provides a unique insight into the origins of the most dangerous international crisis since the end of the Cold War.
