The fourth volume of "Aspects of the Orange Revolution"
continues the previous volume's discussion on the impact of foreign
actors on Ukrainian politics. It provides both scholarly analyses
and first-hand accounts. The collection not only investigates, but
also gives voice to, some of those involved in the events of 2004.
While most of the volume's contributors have an academic
background, some of them report here from the perspective of
official election or informal participant observers of the three
rounds of the Ukrainian presidential elections. Part One juxtaposes
some contrasting views on how far Russia's and the West's various
interests, activities and tools influencing the Orange Revolution
were comparable to each other, and adequate given the
circumstances. Part Two presents individual reports by a number of
international election observers who were following the campaign
and voting in various parts of Ukraine in 2004. Part Three presents
three additional on-the-ground observations focusing solely on the
notorious electoral district No. 100 of Kirovohrad Oblast. The
contributions by Andreas Umland, Iris Kempe, Iryna Solonenko,
Vladimir Frolov, Valentin Yakushik, Matthias Brucker, Jake
Rudnitsky, Rory Finnin, Adriana Helbig, Paul Terdal, Tatiana
Terdal, Peter Wittschorek, Hans-J?rg Schmedes, Adrianna Melnyk,
Ingmar Bredies, Oxana Shevel, and Volodymyr Bilyk add a number of
novel points of view to those presented in the previous volumes.
These partly contradictory and emotional texts as well as a number
of photographs document the tense atmosphere and confrontational
climate within which Ukraine's second phase of post-Soviet
democratization started in 2004.
