This course examines Ukraine’s tumultuous history; from its Kievan Rus’ origins a millennium ago; through its first founding as a nation state in 1917; to the present. Ukraine’s ethnic; religious; and linguistic diversity has been its strength and weakness. Pulled between East and West; democracy and authoritarianism; Ukraine has struggled to find its place between European and the world powers.
