"These volumes have provided greater clarity about the war, since the media’s reporting on the war has been, by necessity, lacking in important details. If one is interested in the background to the war and, especially, who has been fighting it, then read these volumes." — The Journal of the Air Force Historical Foundation
War in Ukraine, Volume 3: Armed formations of the Luhansk People’s Republic 2014–2022 focuses on the armed formations of the Luhansk People’s Republic (LPR), one of the two separatist entities in the east of Ukraine. This volume aims to provide an overview of their formation in 2014, status up to the end of February 2022 (with some observations on their activities since the launch of Russia’s ‘Special Military Operation’), and combat equipment, while also exploring issues around identity and symbology.
Since their formation in the fighting in eastern Ukraine during 2014, the armed formations of the Luhansk People’s Republic have been slowly consolidated into a more integrated fighting force. However, key units still maintain individual identities and centers of power. One area of focus of the title will be the technological improvisation of the Luhansk People’s Republic, which includes the creation of hybrid armored vehicles of types not seen elsewhere. The extensive visual propaganda culture around the armed formations of the Luhansk People’s Republic is also explored.
War in Ukraine, Volume 3: Armed formations of the Luhansk People’s Republic 2014–2022 also presents a wealth of unique visual material including unit patches, photographs, diagrams and maps, and will be of interest to anyone studying the conflict in Ukraine.
"...full of excellent photographs and color profiles for those looking to recreate an LPR scheme on their models."
