Une guerre qui n'en finit pas...

An endless war… The exploitation of the family archives gathered in Kiev by my brother has enabled me to reconstitute the itineraries of our father and his brothers, caught in the turmoil of the First World War, then in those of the civil war. To cope with the events of this very complex period, especially in Ukraine, by analysing individual destinies, leads to an inner approach of History, which is grasped in the making. It also leads to ask ourselves questions about the blanks and the unsaid, still numerous, of the historical text, about what were the motivations of individual and collective choices at the origin of «a people’s tragedy ».Menegaldo Hélène.
