  3. The third volume covers the history of Galicia and Volhynia from the formation of the state of Prince Roman Mstyslavych to the conquest of the territory by the Kingdom of Poland, as well as the situation of the Dnieper region under the rule of the Golden Horde khans.
  4. The fourth volume covers the political history of the Ukrainian lands as part of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania and the Kingdom of Poland during the 14th century and up to 1569.
  5. The fifth volume provides a general overview of the socio-political evolution of Ukrainian lands in the 14–17th centuries, considers the status of the population (gentry and magnates, peasants, burghers, clergy), the history of local and church government, the emergence of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church.
  6. The sixth volume completes the second cycle of the fundamental series, dedicated to the Lithuanian–Polish era. It outlines the development of urban handicrafts and agriculture, trade, national relations, culture and life from the time of incorporation of Ukrainian lands into the Grand Duchy of Lithuania and the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth to the 1920s. The 17th century is the times of the Cossacks. Particular attention is paid to the topics of education, the creation of fraternities, and the fight against the Commonwealth.
  7. The seventh volume begins the third cycle of the History of Ukraine-Rus', dedicated to the Cossack era. It describes the beginnings of the Cossacks from the end of the 14th century until the beginning of the 17th century, when it transformed from a purely domestic phenomenon into the Cossack Hetmanate, and became the leader of the national liberation struggles of the Ukrainian people. The volume covers the key events of the first quarter of the 17th century, the participation of the Cossacks in the religious struggle, the Khotyn War and the restoration of the Orthodox hierarchy in 1620–1621, the naval campaigns and military actions of Hetman Sagaidachny against the Turks and Tatars. It outlines the ties of the Cossacks with the Kyiv cultural and social movement of that time, which was headed by Metropolitans Job Boretsky and Petro Mohyla.
  8. The eighth volume is devoted to the second quarter of the 17th century and consists of three parts. The first covers the years 1626–1638, from the Kurukovo campaign, which did not live up to the plans and hopes of the Cossacks of the first decades of this century, to the defeat at Kumeiki. The second part tells about Ukrainian life during the so-called Golden Peace (1638–1648) and the beginning of the Khmelnytsky Uprising under the leadership of Bohdan Khmelnytsky. The third part covers the course of events in the first two years of the Khmelnytsky region (1648–1650) and gives an assessment of the Treaty of Zboriv between Ukraine and Poland.
