In 1988; the first edition of Orest Subtelny's Ukraine was published to international acclaim; as the definitive history of what was at that time a republic in the USSR. In the years since; the world has seen the dismantling of the Soviet bloc and the restoration of Ukraine's independence - an event celebrated by Ukrainians around the world but which also heralded a time of tumultuous change for those in the homeland.While previous updates brought readers up to the year 2000; this new fourth edition includes an overview of Ukraine's most recent history; focusing on the dramatic political; socio-economic; and cultural changes that occurred during the Kuchma and Yushchenko presidencies. It analyzes political developments - particularly the so-called Orange Revolution - and the institutional growth of the new state. Subtelny examines Ukraine's entry into the era of globalization; looking at social and economic transformations; regional; ideological; and linguistic tensions; and describes the myriad challenges currently facing Ukrainian state and society.
