Ukraine

Selvfølgelig ønsker Ukraine at blive en del af EU – eller hvad? Rigtig mange ukrainere føler et større fællesskab med den russisktalende verden end med Vesteuropa. Bogen vender op og ned på vores forståelse af det østeuro­pæiske land. Blandt de mange vestlige myter om Østeuropa er, at hele det ukrainske folk ønsker at blive en del af den vestlige blok. Mange millioner ukrainere ser derimod sig selv som værende mere knyttet til den russisktalende verden, og de opfatter Maidan-revolutionen i 2013-2014 som et mindretalskup. Derfor ser mange ukrainere heller ikke nødvendigvis Ruslands tilstedeværelse på Krim siden 2014 som noget negativt. Hvad Ukraine bliver for et land er uvist, men det bliver helt sikkert ikke det land, som voksede ud af Sovjetuni­onens sammenbrud i 1991. Bogen giver et kritisk blik på både USA’s og EU’s politik i landet, men den giver også forslag til, hvordan vi kommer videre. Den henvender sig til alle med interesse for nutidens europæiske samfundsforhold og historie. Jens Jørgen Nielsen er cand.mag. i idéhistorie og historie, tidligere nyhedskorrespondent i bl.a. Rusland og taler flydende russisk. Han er konsulent og underviser i kommunikation og kulturforskelle. Derudover er han kulturguide i bl.a. Polen, Irland og Tjekkiet og har tidligere arbejdet for FOA samt den danske ambassade i Estland.

Conventional wisdom dictates that Ukraine's political crises can be traced to the linguistic differences and divided political loyalties that have long fractured the country. However, this theory obscures the true significance of Ukraine's recent civic revolution and the conflict's crucial international dimension. The 2013-14 Ukrainian revolution presented authoritarian powers in Russia with both a democratic and a geopolitical challenge. In reality, political conflict in Ukraine is reflective of global discord, stemming from differing views on state power, civil society, and democracy. Ukraine's sudden prominence in American politics has compounded an already-widespread misunderstanding of what is actually happening in the nation. In the American media, Ukraine has come to signify an inherently corrupt place, rather than a real country struggling in the face of great challenges. Ukraine: What Everyone Needs to Know® is an updated edition of Serhy Yekelchyk's 2015 publication, The Conflict in Ukraine. It addresses Ukraine's relations with the West, particularly the United States, from the perspective of Ukrainians. The book explains how independent Ukraine fell victim to crony capitalism, how its people rebelled twice in the last two decades in the name of democracy and against corruption, and why Russia reacted so aggressively to the strivings of Ukrainians. Additionally, it looks at what we know about alleged Ukrainian interference in the 2016 US presidential election, the factors behind the stunning electoral victory of the political novice Volodymyr Zelensky, and the ways in which the events leading to the impeachment proceedings against President Donald Trump have changed the Russia-Ukraine-US relationship. This volume is essential reading for anyone who wants to understand the forces that have shaped contemporary politics in this increasingly important part of Europe, as well as the international background of the impeachment proceedings in the US.

På operationsbordet lå en lille pige på bare 7 år, kun fordi Nataliya rent fysisk klemte forsigtigt om barnets lille hjerte, holdt hun pigen i live. Helt bogstaveligt stod hun med det lille liv i sin hånd, imens lægen desperat forsøgte at stoppe blødningerne efter den granatsplint, som i første omgang havde revet brystet op på pigen. En dump eksplosion i nærheden fik bygningen til at ryste, kalk og betonstøv dryssede ned fra loftet, lyset blinkede, men Nataliya lænede sig blot skærmende ind over barnet, ikke et eneste sekund stoppede hun med at holde det lille hjerte i gang.

The intriguing book, rich in droll humour, is a readable account of Ukraine's troubled past and present. Walking the streets of Kyiv, we are introduced to Rus' kings, Cossack chiefs, and intellectuals who articulated a truly Ukrainian identity and planted the seeds of national consciousness. We visit cathedrals and monasteries whose ancient walls have witnessed the principal events in Ukraine's history and the recent split in Orthodox Christianity. We join Kyivians in Easter celebration; hear love stories and ghost tales; and sample street food. The book charts the litany of errors made by Tsarist Russia, the effects of which endure; and reveals the communist totalitarianism and repression that still reverberate through the minds of freedom-loving Ukrainians. In vigorous prose we get a ringside view of the Euromaidan revolution. The author describes the fascinating land and people with his usual unflinching eye and arresting detail.
