Baltic History after 24 February 2022 - The Charm of Transnational Peripheries?

Summary/Abstract: In 2018, Johannes Remy’s Finnish-language “History of Ukraine” was published in Estonian translation as Ukrainia ajalugu. 1 In his review, Tartu scholar Heiko Pääbo clarifies that although the Estonian audience could relate very well to the history of Ukraine and the Ukrainians because of a shared past under the same empire(s), it was “not particularly well known.”2 Indeed, the number of serious publications on Ukrainian topics published for the general Estonian reader is very small. There have been quite a number of BA and MA theses produced by political scientists since the Russian Federation started its war against Ukraine in 2014, but almost nothing has reached the general audience. Has any Estonian historian published something devoted exclusively to the Ukrainian past or the Russian-Ukrainian encounters over the centuries? If so, I am not aware of it; neither am I aware of the corresponding state of research in the Latvian and Lithuanian languages.
