People are complaining this is primordial ethnic essentialization but the REALLY funny thing is that it's completely embedded in a Russocentric perspective of 'Ethnos' the author is peddling for the last 15 years

@postsocialismus There are lots of Central Asian examples of Russian-Soviet ethnogenesis being similarly deployed, including recently by some adherents to decolonisation. You can't decolonise on the fantastical terms of the imperial power.
@postsocialismus This looks like the kind of book that, if it was on Greeks instead of Ukrainians, you could buy on some Greek fringe TV channel, where the author advertises it and promises to throw in two other books on ancient Greek computer technology & their discovery of America.
