Izbornyk is an internet-library project assembling old Ukrainian literature. It is also known as "History of Ukraine 9-18th centuries. Primary sources and interpretation". It has been online since the 21st of August 2001.
The project covers the following main subjects: Chronicles, Linguistics, History, Old Ukrainian Literature, Taras Shevchenko, Political Science, Literary Studies, Grammar and lexicons, Historical maps.
Idea
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 This is the background of the annals, chronicles and historical documents collected in the main section of the page: Chronicles.
