Hrushevsky Translation Project
The History of Ukraine-Rus’ is the most comprehensive account of the ancient, medieval, and early modern history of the Ukrainian people. Written by Ukraine’s greatest historian, Mykhailo Hrushevsky, the ten-volume History remains unsurpassed in its use of sources and literature. The English-language edition makes the national history of Europe’s largest new state available to the English reader for the first time. At the launch of Volume 1, the late Professor Thomas Noonan of the University of Minnesota referred to the Hrushevsky Translation Project as “one of North America’s most important and ambitious publishing projects in East Slavic history.”
In 2021, CIUS completed publication of the English-language translation of Mykhailo Hrushevsky’s History of Ukraine-Rus'. With an accomplished team under the leadership of Frank Sysyn and Uliana Pasicznyk, the Hrushevsky Translation Project (HTP) under CIUS’s Peter Jacyk Centre for Ukrainian Historical Research worked for many years to see the completion of this signature endeavour. The Jacyk Centre has published the twelfth and final book of Mykhailo Hrushevsky’s magnum opus, thereby making this entire fundamental source by Ukraine’s leading historian available to the English-speaking community and audiences worldwide.
