Abstract: This collection, entitled Ukraine as an Object of Russian Great Power Claims – Languages, Identities and Discourses, consists “mostly” of written versions of contributions to a series of online lectures that Björn Wimer, a professor of Slavic linguistics at the University of Mainz, organized a few weeks after Russia’s full- scale war in Ukraine began. The book is intended to contribute to a broader understanding of the “deeper-rooted” causes of the war in Ukraine “from different scientific perspectives” and “help correct” traditional misconceptions, particularly in view of “historical, linguistic, political and economic circumstances and their background”. To the extent that any quality study of Ukrainian-Russian relations helps to achieve this goal, the book does explain some of the underlying causes of the tragic war.
