{"product_id":"untitled-jun18_09-16-50","title":"TAM KIEDYŚ BYŁA RZECZPOSPOLITA - ZIEMIE UKRAINNE","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Ukrainian lands are rich in traces of Polish heritage. Across Red Ruthenia, Volhynia, Podolia, the Bełz Voivodeship, and the regions of Bracław, Chernihiv, and Kyiv, Poles—as well as Polonized Ruthenian princes and nobility—left an indelible mark on history and culture. Palaces, castles, cities, towns, and places of worship—many now lying in ruins—were built at the initiative of Polish magnates, while the land itself was developed thanks to privileges granted by Polish kings.\u003cbr\u003eThis book explores the history, locations, noble families, and figures of the Ukrainian lands, covering the period roughly up to the end of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. It also addresses the Cossack question and the impact of Cossack uprisings on the fate of specific settlements. Woven into this history are the constant Tatar raids and internal conflicts among Cossack chieftains and factions loyal to either the Commonwealth or Russia—struggles that plunged Ukraine into the era known as \"The Ruin\" in the late 17th century. Russia was the primary beneficiary of this turmoil, annexing the Left-Bank Ukraine (Zadnieprze) and Kyiv in 1667—a move confirmed by the Eternal Peace treaty concluded by Voivode Krzysztof Grzymułtowski in 1686.\u003cbr\u003eJust as in Poland, devastating wars in Ukraine led to the destruction or seizure of Polish cultural assets—treasures that are only now being slowly restored or reconstructed. May this book serve as a contribution to remembering the Polish presence and the Polish roots of Ukraine’s history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTable of Contents:\u003cbr\u003eCover\u003cbr\u003eTitle Page\u003cbr\u003eImprint\u003cbr\u003eThe Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth in the 16th Century\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003eRed Ruthenia\u003cbr\u003eThe Bełz Region\u003cbr\u003eVolhynia\u003cbr\u003ePodolia\u003cbr\u003eThe Bracław Region\u003cbr\u003eThe Kiev Region\u003cbr\u003eThe Chernihiv and Siewierz Regions, and the Upper Oka Principalities\u003cbr\u003eConclusion\u003cbr\u003eBibliography\u003cbr\u003eIndex of Names\u003cbr\u003eIndex of Place Names\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book is written in Polish\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58097425842524,"sku":null,"price":59.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1032\/3348\/7196\/files\/Image.jpg?v=1786815540","url":"https:\/\/jerzybesala.com\/products\/untitled-jun18_09-16-50","provider":"Jerzy Besala","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
