The Maidan Uprising, Separatism and Foreign Intervention cover

The current crisis in Ukraine has revealed a striking lack of background knowledge about Ukraine’s history and politics among West European politicians, journalists, intellectuals and even many academics. In this book, experts from Poland, Ukraine, the US, Russia and Western Europe fill the gap between an omnipresent and easily available narrative about Russia and a scarce, scattered knowledge about Ukraine. They show what history and political science can offer for a better understanding of the crisis and provide insights, which are based on reliable Ukrainian, Russian, Polish and Turkish sources and confidential interviews with key actors and advisors. Rather than offering easy answers, the authors present facts and knowledge, which enables the reader to make up his own informed opinion.

«Das Buch ist insbesondere Ukraine-Kennern zu empfehlen. Es ist analytisch und interdisziplinär.» (Katarzyna Stoklosa, Zeitschrift für Ostmitteleuropa-Forschung 65/2016)
