A scholarly biography, Mykhailo Hrushevsky: The Politics of National Culture chronicles the remarkable life of Mykhailo Hrushevsky (1866–1934), the preeminent Ukrainian historian, scholar, and statesman who became the first president of independent Ukraine. Thomas M. Prymak presents a rigorous and authoritative account of Hrushevsky's intellectual and political journey, from his towering contributions to Ukrainian historiography to his pivotal role in the turbulent revolutionary period of 1917–1918. The biography argues that Hrushevsky's lifelong commitment to Ukrainian national identity placed him in constant tension with both Tsarist Russian and Soviet authorities, ultimately leading to his persecution under Stalin. Written with academic precision yet accessible in tone, this work illuminates how one man's vision of cultural and national sovereignty shaped the course of Ukrainian history and continues to resonate in the modern era.
