Now, he offers a much-needed look at one of the most urgent flash points in current international relations: the first occupation and annexation of one European nation's territory by another since World War II. Pleshakov illustrates how the proxy war unfolding in Ukraine is a clash of incompatible world views. To the U.S. and Europe, Ukraine is a country struggling for self-determination in the face of Russia's imperial nostalgia. To Russia, Ukraine is a "sister nation," where NATO expansionism threatens its own borders. In Crimea itself, the native Tatars are Muslims who are vehemently opposed to Russian rule. Engagingly written and bracingly nonpartisan, Pleshakov's book explains the missteps made on all sides to provide a clear, even-handed account of a major international crisis. 606 $aHISTORY / Modern / 21st Century$2bisacsh 607 $aUkraine$xForeign relations$zRussia (Federation) 607 $aRussia (Federation)$xForeign relations$zUkraine 615 7$aHISTORY / Modern / 21st Century. 676 $a947.7/1 686 $aOST$2fid$qDE-12 700 $aPleshakov$b Constantine, $4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0140841 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910817104703321 996 $aThe Crimean Nexus$91540331 997 $aUNINA
