Description

The Ukrainians: An Unexpected Nation by Andrew Wilson provides a comprehensive guide to modern Ukraine and its complex history with Russia. From the myth of common origin in medieval times to the country's path to independence in 1991, Wilson offers an acute and informed account of the Ukrainians and their nation. The book explores the intricate relationship between Ukraine and Russia, examining the experiences of minorities, economic collapse, and attempts at recovery under successive leaders. It also delves into the conflicts within Ukrainian society between its Eurasian roots and Western aspirations, as well as the significance of a pivotal presidential election in 1999. This new edition offers an up-to-date perspective on Ukraine's history, shedding light on the ongoing disputes over identity, culture, and religion that continue to shape the country today.
