Numerous elections, including the hotly contested 2004 presidential elections in Ukraine, and surveys of public opinion showed significant regional divisions in these post-Soviet countries. Western parts of Ukraine and Moldova, as well as the Muslim Crimean Tatars, were vocal supporters of independence, nationalist, and pro-Western parties and politicians. In contrast, Eastern regions, as well as the Orthodox Turkic-speaking Gagauz, consistently expressed pro-Russian and pro-Communist political orientations. Which factors ? historical legacies, religion, economy, ethnicity, or political leadership ? could explain these divisions? Why was Ukraine able to avoid a violent break-up, in contrast to Moldova? This is the first book to offer a systematic and comparative analysis of the regional political divisions in post-Soviet Ukraine and Moldova. The study examines voting behavior and political attitudes in two groups of regions: those which were under Russian, Ottoman, and Soviet rule; and those which were under Austro-Hungarian, Polish, Romanian, and Czechoslovak rule until World War I or World War II. This book attributes the regional political divisions to the differences in historical experience. This study helps us to better understand regional cleavages and conflicts, not only in Ukraine and Moldova, but also in other cleft countries. 410 0$aSoviet and post-Soviet politics and society ;$v33. 606 $aRegionalism$zUkraine 606 $aRegionalism$zMoldova 606 $aPolitical culture$zUkraine 606 $aPolitical culture$zMoldova 606 $aElections$zUkraine 606 $aElections$zMoldova 607 $aUkraine$xPolitics and government$y1991-2014 607 $aMoldova$xPolitics and government$y1991- 615 0$aRegionalism 615 0$aRegionalism 615 0$aPolitical culture 615 0$aPolitical culture 615 0$aElections 615 0$aElections 676 $a306.209477 700 $aKatchanovski$b Ivan$4aut$0719833 702 $aFukuyama$b Francis$4aui 702 $aUmland$b Andreas$4edt 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910962770803321 996 $aCleft countries$91398027 997 $aUNINA
