Ukraine vs. Russia: Revolution, Democracy and War: Selected Articles and Blogs, 2010-2016

Ukraine vs. Russia offers indispensable background knowledge and analysis on one of the most important issues of the day--Vladimir Putin's war against democratic Ukraine. Alexander J. Motyl's articles and blogs offer in-depth analysis as well as a running commentary on current events and historical controversies in both Russia and Ukraine--from the rise of Ukrainian dictator Viktor Yanukovych to the impending fall of Russian dictator Putin. Motyl discusses politics, society, culture, economics, history, language, and memory and shows how they relate to the Russo-Ukrainian War and to Western understanding--and misunderstanding--of Ukraine and Russia. As Washington considers a policy shift toward Russia and Ukraine, Western policymakers and analysts would be well-advised to consult this important volume. -- Provided by publisher
