Viktoria Malko examines the existential threats and ideological choices the Ukrainian intelligentsia faced as the first group targeted during the Holodomor genocide. Due to its influential patriotism and its leadership of Ukraine’s strong tradition of struggle for national liberation, the “brain of the nation”—the intelligentsia —became the epicentre of the Soviet-orchestrated genocide against Ukrainians. The Ukrainian Intelligentsia and Genocide is an illuminating study of a decade that traumatised Ukraine as a nation and has shaped its politics to this very day, written by a historian specializing in Modern Europe and World History.
