Since its founding in Lviv in 1996, the journal Ukraina Moderna has been a prime historical academic journal in Ukraine with a focus on the country’s modern history. Over the years, the journal has attracted dozens of Ukraine’s leading intellectuals who joined the ranks of its authors and contributors. While for a period of one year after publication, all new volumes of the journal are accessible online only to subscribers, the entire archive of Ukraina Moderna from 1996 to 2022 is freely accessible to anyone.
As the new volumes of Ukraina Moderna on the UTP journals platform are available to subscribers only for the period of one year, these volumes can be obtained right away from CIUS Press in the form of printed paper copies. The paper copy of Ukraina Moderna volume 34 (for spring-summer 2023) can now be ordered. This special issue is dedicated to the study of the Holocaust in Ukraine. Entitled Голокост в Україні: як (не)пишуть історію злочину / The Holocaust in Ukraine: How the History of a Crime is (Not) Written, it contains and extensive forum discussing the issues of the Holocaust in Ukraine, six related scholarly articles, as well as eleven book reviews.
