Demokratychna Ukraina Digital Archive / Демократична Україна
Established initially as a Russian-language daily newspaper in the early 20th century, Demokratychna Ukraina (Демократична Україна, Democratic Ukraine) underwent dramatic transformation in the wake of the August 1991 coup attempt against Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev. In addition to changing the name of the newspaper, Demokratychna Ukraina began publishing in Ukrainian and altered its editorial policies to allow and, in fact, encourage a new kind of journalism that valued democratic ideas and ideals. Over the years, building upon its Soviet-era reputation as a solid news outlet, the newspaper would grow to become one of the most important print media in the newly independent Ukraine. After a tumultuous financial period and dwindling subscriptions, Demokratychna Ukraina suspended publication in 2017 before starting again as a weekly publication in 2018, only to be suspended again in 2020. – Publisher

The Cambridge History of America and the World
The first volume of The Cambridge History of America and the World examines how the United States emerged out of a series of colonial interactions, some involving indigenous empires and communities that were already present when the first Europeans reached the Americas, others the adventurers and settlers dispatched by Europe’s imperial powers to secure their American claims, and still others men and women brought as slaves or indentured servants to the colonies that European settlers founded.
The second volume of The Cambridge History of America and the World examines how the United States rose to great power status in the nineteenth century and how the rest of the world has shaped the United States.
The third volume of The Cambridge History of America and the World covers the volatile period between 1900 and 1945 when the United States emerged as a world power and American engagements abroad flourished in new and consequential ways.
The fourth volume of The Cambridge History of America and the World examines the heights of American global power in the mid-twentieth century and how challenges from at home and abroad altered the United States and its role in the world.
