history, Ukraine’s complex relations with Russia and the West, the burden of tragedies
such as the Holodomor and World War II ,the impact of Chernobyl
nuclear disaster, and Ukraine’s contribution to the collapse of the
Soviet Union. Juxtaposing Ukraine’s history to the contemporary
politics of memory, this volume provides a multidimensional
image of a country that continues to make headlines around the
world.

collected here reveal the roots of ongoing political, cultural and
military conflict in Ukraine, the largest country in Europe.
