Hi GZers,

I would like to draw your attention to a 24 hour fundraiser on YouTube.

Started 9 hours ago, but the content will be available for 48 hours.

Many historically and genealogically oriented people are donating their time and giving presentations.

Many interesting talks.

https://historyforukraine.co/

Free to watch, but the idea is to generate donations.

100% of donations go instantly to the Disasters Emergency Committee (DEC) Ukraine Humanitarian Appeal.

If you've been wondering how to help the people of Ukraine, this is one way to do so.

Here is the link for the first 8 hours.

Check in at 7:34:00 mark for a perspective of Ukrainian history from Dr Vadim Aristov, currently still in Ukraine.

Russian Historical Myths About Kyivan Rus

The presentation summarizes the most important Russian historical myths about Kyivan Rus which are exploited in propaganda. It demonstrates how and why these myths distort the reality and contradict the medieval sources.

Bio: Dr Vadim Aristov is a senior lecturer of the Department of History, the National University of “Kyiv-Mohyla academy” in Kyiv. His research fields are the History of Ukraine and Medieval History of Eastern Europe.
