Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

This book examines the diary of a “common man,” Kostiantyn Sambursky, that stands out among the very few such known works. It provides a detailed account of daily events for almost 10 years in one village: Huzhivka in Chernihiv province.The diary describes the comings and goings of rival armies, confiscations, requisitions, the activities of the local officials, the role of the church in local affairs, personal rivalries, and how land re-allocation occurred in this settlement of approximately 3,000 people. The diary provides invaluable insight into the human element of rural revolutionary Ukraine.
