This work provides an introduction to the major issues that face
Ukraine today and explains how they were shaped. Contrasting the
generally bleak picture that international media reports present,
it suggests that Ukraine has actually accomplished a great deal in
a short time. In seven years, from 1991 to 1998, Ukraine went from
being a little-known nation within a non-democratic state to an
internationally recognized independent country. It established a
political identity for itself separate from Russia and made steps
towards creating a democratic political system including adopting a
new Constitution. All this was done without the shedding of blood.
The book looks at these and other issues. The first chapter
provides a broad historical background and explains why history is
important in the region today. Chapter 2 describes Ukraine's
starting point in 1991. It explains the legacies left behind by the
Soviet Union: what Ukraine had and what it lacked when it declared
independence. The remaining chapters provide an overview of the
main political, economic, social, cultural and foreign policy
issues in Ukraine. A separate chapter is devoted to
Ukrainian-Russian relations.
