One of the strongest states in Europe a millennium ago, Ukraine has had a devastating century, including two forced famines, first under Lenin, in 19, and then under Stalin, a decade later. Although we have learned something about Volodymyr Zelensky, Ukraine’s neophyte President, there has been very little said about the lived experiences of the country’s nearly forty-four million people.
