A polemical historical essay reclaiming the legacy of Anna Yaroslavna [Anne of Kiev], the daughter of Yaroslav the Wise and queen consort of France through her marriage to Henry I. Miroslav Nebeliuk presents the work as a corrective to the prevailing misidentification of Anna as a Russian princess in French historiography, textbooks, and public discourse. Drawing on contemporary French publications and tourist literature, the author insists on Anna’s Ukrainian identity and frames the text as both an educational resource and a patriotic rebuttal to Moscow-centric narratives. Written in a popular style for a general émigré audience, this booklet aims to inspire pride among Ukrainians in France and advocates for greater awareness of Anna's historical role as a representative of Kyivan Rus’.
