Modern-day Russia and Ukraine have a long, complicated, and intertwined history leading up to the current conflict. Our librarians have compiled non-fiction resources including an online course, oral histories, and political analyses to help provide some context for the relationship between Russia and Ukraine. We have also included some fiction by authors with Ukrainian roots to provide a window into the lives and culture of everyday Ukrainians.
