Description
From an award-winning Russian journalist, a brisk, clearly written history of Ukraine—from its emergence as a post-Soviet oligarchic state to a progressive country with increasing economic, cultural, and political ties to Europe and the US—which have led to Putin’s current brutal attempt to obliterate Ukraine’s independence.As soon as the Russian invasion of Ukraine began, prominent independent Russian journalist Mikhail Zygar circulated a Facebook petition signed first by hundreds of his cultural and journalistic contacts and then by thousands of others. That act led to a new law in Russia criminalizing criticism of the war, and Zygar fled Russia. Since then he has had full access to the major players in this war—from politicians to oligarchs—including President Zelensky, ex-presidents Poroshenko, Yushchenko, the Klitchko brothers (both boxing champions, the elder is mayor of Kyiv), Zelensky’s right hand man Andrey Yermak, and many more. As an expert on Putin’s moods and behavior, he has spent years studying the Kremlin’s plan regarding Ukraine, and here, in clear, chronological order he explains how we got here.
In 1996 to 2004, Ukraine became an independent post-Soviet country where everyone was connected to the former empire at all levels, financially, culturally, psychologically. However, the elite anticipated that the empire would be back and punish them. From 2004 to 2018, there were many states inside one state, each with its own rulers/oligarchs and its own interests—some of them directly connected with Russia. In 2018, a new generation of Ukrainians arrive, and having grown in an independent country, they do not consider themselves to be part of Russia—and that was the moment when the war began, as Putin could not tolerate losing Ukraine forever.
Authoritative, timely, and vitally important, this is an unprecedented overview of the war that affects us all and continues to threaten the future of the entire world as we know it.
