You’re very welcome but honestly in the current political climate you’d be best not touching this topic at university because people will come after you.
But it’s a very interesting history, by which I mean the history of how the narrative was created is very interesting.
There is another work that is completely unrelated to the Ukrainian genocide, completely not related, but it does an excellent job of describing how history is constructed by the elites of society to support their ideology. It’s “the assassination of Julius Caesar” by Michael Parenti. I’ll repeat that it has absolutely nothing to do with ukraine, as the title suggests it’s about the assassination of Julius Caesar but more than that it’s an exploration of the way history is written by elites and propagated by “respectable” parts of society, invariably the institutions aligned with the wealthiest parts of society, and how history serves a vital role in propaganda.
My majors are in psych and polisci but I’m sprinkling in some history classes as well. This semester I’m taking a history class so I’m really looking forward to it.

If you’re studying history, you’ll love it.

I love the title because, aside from the actual assassination, it's about character assassination.
