The monograph is devoted to the modern development of the Ukrainian
state, which appeared on the political map after 1991. The movement
to the independence of Ukraine began even before the collapse of
the USSR. In the late 1980s, the Ukrainian authorities, represented
by the Communists of Ukraine, began to pursue a policy aimed at
isolating the republic's economic and political system from the
central authorities. Such a policy in a short time transformed into
a national movement, focused on the republic's withdrawal from the
united Union, and the establishment of Ukraine as an independent
state. The process of formation of the political elite of Ukraine,
its ideological views, which for decades have determined the
internal and external policies of the Ukrainian state, are
explored. The book examines the factor of regional development of
Ukraine, the role of the historical factor in the formation and
development of the modern Ukrainian state. The territory of Ukraine
is a "mosaic" of individual regions, which for a long time were
part of different states. This factor had a huge impact on the
formation of modern Ukraine, laying the inter-regional
contradictions. The significance of the economic problems that
Ukraine faced is analyzed. A lot of attention is given to the
internal political struggle that has developed since independence.
The struggle of the political elites of Ukraine at times reached
violent terms, which led to internal political crises. Throughout
the entire period of independent development, Ukraine was torn by
internal contradictions. Issues of language, identity and culture
were constantly used by the Ukrainian elites in the struggle for
power. The book shows the evolution of Ukraine's foreign policy.
The policy towards European integration and the expansion of
relations with NATO was formed gradually, under the influence of
internal and external factors. It is concluded that the foreign
policy of the Ukrainian state was consistent and aimed at weakening
relations with Russia. A similar policy was pursued by all
Ukrainian presidents, each of whom contributed to the course of
Ukraine towards rapprochement with the EU and the United States of
America. In recent years, Ukraine has not been able to overcome
internal contradictions. Interregional differences, the history of
the formation of the Ukrainian state, continue to have a negative
impact on the process of the formation of Ukraine as an independent
state. The victory in the election of the new president, Volodymyr
Zelensky, opened up a new stage in the development of Ukraine,
which leaves a lot of room for academic discussions of the
country's future.
