The time span covers the period from the middle of the 14th century to the end of the 18th century, focusing on political as well as social, historical and economic developments. The Lithuanian~Rus'ian era, especially in its early stage, was a time of free and nationally favorable development for the Ukrainian nation, followed by the period of Polish domination and oppression. This Polish political, social, economic and religious oppression of the Ukrainian people provoked a powerful National Revolution, a national and religious liberation, and the formation of the independent Ukrainian Cossack Hetman State in 1648~49. By 1783 the last vestiges of Ukrainian political autonomy were liquidated by the ruthless imperial growth of the Russian Tsars. Seller Inventory # 6131603
