The principal geographical focus of the essays is Ukraine, but most of the assembled texts are also relevant and/or refer to other post-Soviet countries. Mikhail Minakov describes how former Soviet nations are trying to re-invent, for their particular circumstances, democracy and capitalism while concurrently dealing with new poverty and inequality, facing unusual degrees of freedom and responsibility for their own future, coming to terms with complicated collective memories and individual pasts. Finally, the book puts forward novel perspectives on how Western and post-communist Europe may be able to create a sustainable pan-European common space. These include a new agenda for pan-European political communication, new East-Central European regional security mechanisms, a solution for the chain of separatist-controlled populations, and anti-patronalist institutions in East European countries. 410 0$aSoviet and post-Soviet politics and society ;$v179. 606 $aUkraine 606 $aPost-Soviet 606 $aEastern Europe 615 4$aUkraine 615 4$aPost-Soviet 615 4$aEastern Europe 676 $a947.7086 700 $aMinakov$b Mikhail$cProf.$4aut$01835984 702 $aUmland$b Andreas$cDr.$4edt 702 $aEtkind$b Alexander$4aui 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910961007303321 996 $aDevelopment and Dystopia$94413597 997 $aUNINA
