Oleksandr Zaitsev

Oleksandr Yuriyovych Zaitsev is a Ukrainian historian, Doctor of Historical Sciences, and professor at the Ukrainian Catholic University (Lviv). He is a leading researcher of radical Ukrainian nationalism of the interwar period and the author of the monograph “Ukrainian Integral Nationalism (1920s–1930s).” In his work he deliberately distances himself from the “heroes or criminals” disputes and analyzes the phenomenon in a European comparative context.
