Tetyana Shlikhar's book examines how history is represented in post-Soviet films from Russia and Ukraine. This monograph explores the roots of the ongoing Russo-Ukrainian conflict by analyzing various approaches and interpretations of the past. Shlikhar demonstrates that Russian filmmakers portray the past as glorious and grand, while Ukrainian filmmakers depict it as a tragic and traumatic experience that has shattered lives and destinies.
