The eastern edge of Europe has long been in flux. The nature of the
Ukrainian-Russian relationship is both complex and ambiguous.
Prompted by the countries' historical and geographical
entanglement, Volodymyr Kravchenko asks what the words Ukraine and
Russia really mean. The Ukrainian-Russian Borderland abandons
linear historical interpretation and addresses questions of
identity and meaning through imperial and geographic contexts.
Dominated by imperial powers, Eastern Europe and its boundaries
were in a constant state of flux and re-identification during the
Russian imperial period. Here, the Little Russian early modern
identity discourse both connects and separates modern Russian and
Ukrainian identities and gives rise to issues of historical
terminology. Mirroring the historical ambiguity is the geographical
fluidity of the borders between Ukraine and Russia; Kravchenko
situates this issue in the city of Kharkiv and Kharkiv University
as both real and imagined markers of the borderland. Putting the
centuries-long Ukrainian-Russian relationship into imperial and
regional contexts, Kravchenko adds a new perspective to the ongoing
discourse about relations between the two nations.
