Description

Vladimir Putin's aggressive actions have brought the West face-to-face with a stark reality: Russia has long viewed itself as in conflict with Western nations. This perception was reinforced by Putin's hacking of the US elections, which shocked Western governments accustomed to a post-Cold War era of peace and cooperation. The 'End of History' proclaimed in 1991 has given way to the 'Return of History', as Russia's actions have challenged the liberal international order. The conflict in Ukraine, which began three years before the US election hacking, is a prime example of this shift. Putin's war against Ukraine has had devastating consequences, including over 30,000 civilian and military fatalities, widespread displacement, and significant economic disruption. This book provides an in-depth analysis of the crisis, focusing on national identity as the root cause of Russia's actions. Written by Taras Kuzio, a leading authority on contemporary Ukraine, it draws on extensive fieldwork in eastern and southern Ukraine to debunk myths surrounding the conflict and shed light on Putin's motivations.
