Izbornyk

The project is a collection of major works on the history of Kyivan Rus', Ruthenia, the Cossack Hetmanate and Ukraine. The project covers the following main subjects: chronicles, linguistics, history, old Ukrainian literature, Taras Shevchenko, political science, literary studies, grammar and lexicons, historical maps. == History ==

The idea behind the project is to collect as many works of Ukrainian writing as possible. Its goal is not simply to collect texts from various times and by various authors at random, but rather to place these against the backdrop of culture and history. This holistic process aims to make clear the unity, heredity and identity of Ukrainian literature, despite obvious gaps in the linguistic code and breaks in tradition. This is the background of the annals, chronicles and historical documents collected in the main section of the page: "Chronicles" (Літописи). Among other things, digitised versions of critical editions previously published in print as part of the ''Complete Collection of Rus' Chronicles'' (PSRL) are republished here. The "Chronicles" section became so extensive that the mirror site litopys.org.ua was set up to relieve the load on the main site, izbornyk.org.ua. Later, the entire website was moved to the server litopys.org.ua. ==Selected works==
