POLITICS AND SOCIETY IN THE UKRAINIAN PEOPLES R...

This monograph explores the recent political history of Ukraine from a novel diachronic and
comparative point of view. A largely unknown period of history for non-Ukrainians  the
Ukrainian People's Republic (UPR)  which emerged at the end of World War I  is today still a
hot topic for Ukrainians. The years of 2013-2022 were an equally dramatic period with a number
of unsolved problems and conflicts  while the large Russian invasion into Ukraine since
February 2022 marks a new epoch  which is impossible to assess yet. The periods of 1917-1921
and 2013-2022 exhibit both  astonishing similarities and deep differences. The UPR period was
one of the few times when the Ukrainian nation gained full political autonomy as a separate
state. That is why the story of this book resonates with the thoughts and feelings of many
citizens of Ukraine. It presents an insightful glance into different stages of recent Ukrainian
history for a non-Ukrainian audience. Petik highlights why and how the UPR is not only
important for academic history but also for the identity and self-perception of the Ukrainian
nation.
