Description

This module provides a synthetic study of the history, politics and political economy of modern Ukraine. We study history up to independence in 1991, the formation of post-Soviet Ukraine in the 1990s and 2000s, and the attempts to reform it via the Orange Revolution and Maidan Revolution /Revolution of Dignity in 2013-14. We look at the reasons for the election of a comedian Volodymyr Zelensky as President in 2019. Particular attention will be paid to the theme of national identity, and to the complex historical interrelationship between Ukraine and Russia. We will explain Russia鈥檚 motives for invasion in 2014 and 2022 and Ukraine鈥檚 will to resist. The module will draw on a number of disciplines, particularly Political Science and History. There is no language requirement.
