Description
The Ukrainian crisis that unfolded in 2013 was decades in the making. A deep-seated divide within Ukraine, driven by cultural and political differences between its western and southeastern regions, played a significant role in shaping events. Competition between Russia and the West further exacerbated these divisions. This study examines the historical background of the crisis, from the mass demonstrations on Kiev's Independence Square to the aftermath of the February 2014 snipers' massacre and the ouster of President Viktor Yanukovych. The author sheds light on the complex factors that led to Russia's seizure of Crimea and its involvement in the civil war in eastern Ukraine. By exploring the role of radical Ukrainian nationalists and neofascists, as well as the broader geopolitical context, this book provides a nuanced understanding of the crisis and its ongoing impact.
