About this ebook
This book presents history of Ukraine from its independence in 1991 and up to and inclusive of the Russia-Ukraine war.
Ukraine emerged as one of the largest countries in Europe since the break-up of the Soviet Union. Ukraine captured attention of the world during the Russia-Ukraine war, but its recent history remained terra incognita to a significant extent. Ukrainian history, politics, and conflicts in Ukraine became subjects of clashing narratives. The book entries are devoted to Ukrainian government and parliament leaders, major politicians, political parties and organizations, places, historical events, the Russia-Ukraine war, the Donbas war, the annexation of Crimea, the Maidan, and other conflicts. The dictionary also covers Ukraine's relations with Russia, the US, the EU, NATO, the CIS, Poland, and other countries and the economy, demography, and culture of independent Ukraine.
Historical Dictionary of Modern Ukraine contains a chronology, an introduction, and an extensive bibliography. The dictionary section contains cross-referenced entries on important personalities as well as aspects of the country's politics, economy, foreign relations, religion, and culture. This book is an excellent resource for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about Ukraine.
