Timothy Snyder. Peretvorennya natsiy: Poland, Ukraine, Lithuania, Belarus, 1569-1999. (The Reconstruction of Nations)

"In his book, renowned American historian, Professor at Yale University Timothy Snyder examines the phenomenon of the birth of modern nations. The book begins with an overview of the establishment of Rzeczpospolita in the 16^th century – the largest state in the early modern Europe. While in the late twentieth century, where this study ends, the land of the former Rzeczpospolita was divided among the state names after the nations: Poland, Ukraine, Lithuania, and Belarus. In line with the most common at present idea of ​​the nationality, national borders were supposed to cover linguistic communities. How did it happen that the four modern national ideas emerged from the one early modern one? The author's reply is intended to attract attention of both professional historians, and people caring about the issue of their identity."
