Ukraine: statehood across the centuries (a conversation with a subscriber) (02.07.2023)

A conversation between Vitaliy Dribnytsya and a subscriber about the pre-state period and the stages of Ukrainian statehood. The verifiable segment: the mismatch between the 14 tribal unions of the “Primary Chronicle” and the archaeological data (only two cultures — Romny and Volyntseve), and the concept of the “chiefdom” as a sociological construct. The material supplements the analysis “Kyivan Rus’ did not exist”.
