This book first proves that the rationale behind Russia's
aggressive actions in its neighborhood resides in its goal of
achieving certain geostrategic objectives which are largely
predefined by the state's imperial traditions, memories, and fears
that the Kremlin may irretrievably lose control over lands which
were once Russian. In other words, Russia constantly remains an
expansion-oriented and centralized state regardless of epochs and
political regimes ruling over it. That is its geopolitical modus
operandi successfully tested throughout history. This book also
scrutinizes Ukraine as a young post-colonial and post-communist
state which, unlike Russia, is more prone to democratize and
decentralize. To understand the logics of the ongoing Ukrainian
transformation, its domestic and international developments are
assessed in their connection to the Soviet political tradition and
the medieval legacy of the Cossack statehood (15-18 centuries).
This book outlines differences between the political cultures of
Ukrainian and Russian nations. This envisages scrutiny of
historical experiences and their impacts on the Ukrainian and
Russian state-building, institutional structures, national
identity, religious issues, and other features of sovereignty.
Based on these discoveries, a structure of symbolic thinking which
predefines indigenous understandings of justice and order has been
constructed for Ukrainians and Russians.
