Dmytro Doroshenko (1882 - 1951) was a leading Ukrainian politician during the 1917 and 1918 revolution, a prominent emigre historian in the period between the wars, and a member of the Ukrainian Party of Socialist Federalists. He was also the first President of the Ukrainian Free Academy of Sciences in Germany and the co-founder of a branch of the latter in Canada. Best known for his two-volume "Survey of Ukrainian History," he also authored numerous books on the Hetman state, church history, Ukraine in Western literature, etc. His current work, the very first publication in the "Populiarna biblioteka" series, was a nostalgic and somewhat-haunting historical travelogue. Very good .
