<div>I am crowdfunding to pay for open-access publication of my book, entitled "The Maidan Massacre in Ukraine." Open-access electronic edition of this peer-reviewed book has just been published by Palgrave Macmillan, an imprint of Springer Nature, a leading Western academic press: <a href="https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-3-031-67121-0" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><a href="https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-3-031-67121-0" target="_blank" class="" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-3-031-67121-0</a></a>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The open access publication makes the electronic edition of this book free for everyone to read, download, share, translate, and republish in whole or in part. This also makes the book on this crucial massacre in Ukraine and the world accessible to a much wider audience, in particular, those who cannot afford to pay for the hardcover edition of the book or do not have access to university libraries. Its hardcover edition was originally priced at $139.99 (CAD$204.50) plus taxes. But the price of the hardcover edition, which is scheduled for publication on October 2, 2024, would be lowered by the publisher to about $50 after I would pay the open access fee.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The open access fee that needs to be paid to the publisher within six week after the book publication is $15,800 (CAD$21,272) for the entire book: <a href="https://www.springernature.com/gp/open-science/journals-books/books/pricing" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><a href="https://www.springernature.com/gp/open-science/journals-books/books/pricing" target="_blank" class="" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://www.springernature.com/gp/open-science/journals-books/books/pricing</a></a>
</div>
<div>I apply for a publishing grant from my university in the maximum amount of $2,500 to cover a part of the open access fee.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>As a reward, the donors can get for free the electronic edition of my book or buy a hardcover edition of the book with a heavy discount of about $90 from the original price on the Springer Nature website or major booksellers, such as Amazon:

</div>
<div>This book is based on more than 10 years of my research, which I funded with my own money. I'll also forego my royalties for the open access book.
