From the Soviet perspective, Eastern Europe was the near abroad -
more accessible than the capitalist West, yet also unambiguously
foreign. Observing their western neighbours, citizens of the USSR
developed new ideas about the role of states, borders, and national
identities in the Soviet empire. In The Near Abroad, Zbigniew
Wojnowski traces how Soviet Ukrainian identities developed in
dialogue and confrontation with the USSR's neighbours in Eastern
Europe. The author aptly challenges the dominant chronologies of
late Soviet history by arguing that patriotism framed heated
debates about the future of the Soviet state even amongst the
rising tide of cynicism and disengagement from public life.
Wojnowski's insightful analysis illuminates the mental geographies
that continue to shape relations and conflicts between Russia,
Ukraine and Eastern Europe to this very day. Unlike most other
histories of Ukraine, The Near Abroad does not reduce Ukrainian
nationalism to anti-Soviet views and behaviours.
