Focusing specifically on two causes of civilian death, deliberate killing and appalling living conditions, Velychenko outlines prewar improvements in living conditions and describes their decline after 1917. He examines governmental culpability in civilian death and notes that while ideologies and the inability of leaders to control subordinates were undeniably causes of violence, there were other factors at play. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eVelychenko mines previously unused archival sources to create a picture of the social conditions leading up to and during this catastrophic period, combining this data with stories and reports from memoirs of the period. Readers familiar with the explosion of violence against Jews at this time will find here a compelling framework for understanding the context of that violence.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eStephen Velychenko is a senior research fellow at the Chair of Ukrainian Studies, University of Toronto.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 320\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.02 x 9.06 x 5.91 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e December 15, 2021\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46675509248197,"sku":"9780228008972","price":184.84,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0757\/6718\/5605\/files\/Ot5BPp1iYz9780228008972_8f21a83e-2133-4dd1-8f6d-1e84069507ac.webp?v=1786147094","url":"https:\/\/selloorium.com\/products\/life-and-death-in-revolutionary-ukraine-living-conditions-violence-and-demographic-catastrophe-1917-1923-hardcover-1","provider":"Selloorium","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
