The Ukrainians

The most acute, informed and up-to-date account of Ukraine and its people. In this fourth edition Andrew Wilson refreshes his classic work with a new chapter covering Yanukovych´s presidency, the uprising on the Kiev Maidan, the Russian invasion of eastern Ukraine and the Crimea, the rise of Petro Poroshenko, and the challenges ahead. "An interesting and provocative read, which will, one hopes, contribute to the Western understanding of what Ukraine is and why it matters." -Volodymyr Kulyk, Harvard Ukrainian Studies "A spirited and eminently learned investigation of who Ukranians say that they are, how they came to be so, and how others view them...If you re add only one book of Ukraine, this should probably be it." -Elizabeth Luchka Haigh, H-Net Reviews
