Ukraine Perestroika to Independence

This book charts the course of events that led up to the Ukrainian vote for independence and presidential elections in December 1991 by drawing upon information from both official and unofficial sources, some material never previously published in English. The book also examines the growth of Ukrainian nationalism in a theoretical context. As Soviet studies are reformulated, this book is the first English-language survey to meet the growing demand for studies of one of the old Union's most important constiuent parts.
