On October 27, the list of "30 iconic books of our Independence" was announced. This project was initiated by the Ministry of Culture and Information Policy and implemented by the Ukrainian Book Institute. Through the joint efforts of expert and capable readers, we have identified thirty books that have influenced the formation of our identity. It was first and foremost about the values that we share and that those books represent. At the end of the summer, the Book Institute published a list of one hundred slogans, which were compiled and processed by experts. From mid-September, for a month on the website of the Book Institute, you could vote for your favorites from the list. On the basis of a general vote, a list of "30 iconic books of our Independence" has now been formed.
In 2020, "Chronicle", which just turned three hundred years old, and its author three hundred and fifty, was republished. And finally published in the form in which it was written by the author. A beautiful book of 1,016 pages, published in antiquity, was published (Clio Publishing House made considerable efforts to publish it).
Work on the publication began in 2012. Well-known historian Tetyana Tairova-Yakovleva (she works in St. Petersburg at the Center for the Study of the History of Ukraine) found Wieliczka's manuscript in the "reserves". She turned to the Institute of History of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine to publish the Chronicle together. It was agreed that there would be two working groups - one in Russia, headed by Tairovа-Yakovlevа, the other in Ukraine, headed by Gennady Boryak.
It is clear that the publication of such a large-scale historical document is an extremely difficult matter. And by the way. At a certain stage of the work, the researcher turned for help to patrons, graduates of the Kyiv-Mohyla Business School. In total, about a million hryvnias were collected for the publication of the Chronicle. The book appeared and was presented in Baturyn.
