Overcoming History? The Growth of Civil Society in Ukraine

  • Summary

  • Ukraine is often headline news - but remains largely unknown to many in the West. Dr Robert Pyrah is joined by Prof. Jean-Paul Himka (and some insistent birds) in a wide-ranging, sensitive, and highly accessible overview of developments in this large, important young nation on Europe’s eastern border. Late to gain independence (1991), rocked by democratic revolutions, and locked in a 'frozen' conflict with Russia, Ukraine's complex geopolitics belie a dynamic and instructive story. Taking both present-day and Humanist views, we reveal a heterogenous, hopeful picture.

    Note: the interviewee uses a dialect pronunciation for the city of Lviv ('L'view').
