Krátky popis
As in many postcommunist states, politics in Ukraine revolves
around the issue of national identity. Ukrainian nationalists see
themselves as one of the world's oldest and most civilized peoples,
as ",older brothers", to the younger Russian culture.Yet Ukraine
became independent only in 1991, and Ukrainians often feel like a
minority in their own country, where Russian is still the main
language heard on the streets of the capital, Kiev. This book is a
comprehensive guide to modern Ukraine and to the versions of its
past propagated by both Russians and Ukrainians. Andrew Wilson
provides the most acute, informed, and up-to-date account available
of the Ukrainians and their country.Concentrating on the complex
relation between Ukraine and Russia, the book begins with the myth
of common origin in the early medieval era, then looks closely at
the Ukrainian experience under the tsars and Soviets, the
experience of minorities in the country, and the path to
independence in 1991. Wilson also considers the history of Ukraine
since 1991 and the continuing disputes over identity, culture, and
religion. He examines the economic collapse under the first
president, Leonid Kravchuk, and the attempts at recovery under his
successor, Leonid Kuchma. Wilson explores the conflicts in
Ukrainian society between the country's Eurasian roots and its
Western aspirations, as well as the significance of the
presidential election of November 1999.
