This volume is an updated edition of Serhy Yekelchyk's 2015 publication, The Conflict in Ukraine. It addresses Ukraine's relations with the West from the perspective of Ukrainians. The book also explains how independent Ukraine fell victim to crony capitalism, how its people rebelled twice in the last two decades in the name of democracy and against corruption, and why Russia reacted so aggressively to the strivings of Ukrainians. Additionally, it looks atwhat we know about alleged Ukrainian interference in the 2016 US presidential election, the factors behind the stunning electoral victory of the political novice Volodymyr Zelensky, and the ways in which the events leading to the impeachment proceedings against President Donald Trump have changed theRussia-Ukraine-US relationship
Serhy Yekelchyk Knihy
Serhy Yekelchyk je historik, ktorého práca sa ponára do zložitosti sovietskej Ukrajiny a formovania modernej ukrajinskej národnej identity. Jeho odborné práce kriticky skúmajú reprezentáciu histórie v stalinskej kultúre a sociálno-politickú krajinu stalinskej éry. Jeho výskum tiež skúma vývoj Ukrajiny od polovice devätnásteho storočia do súčasnosti a ponúka pútavé pohľady na jej moderný vývoj. Prostredníctvom svojho akademického úsilia Yekelchyk poskytuje hlboké porozumenie ukrajinskej histórii a jej miestu v širších východoeurópskych naratívoch.

"Yekelchyk posits that contemporary representations of the past reflected the USSR's evolution into an empire with a complex hierarchy among its nations. In reality, he argues, the authorities never quite managed to control popular historical imagination or fully reconcile Russia's 'glorious past' with national mythologies of the non-Russian nationalities."--
