William Jay Risch argues that Soviet politics of empire inadvertently shaped this anti-Soviet city, and that opposition from the periphery as much as from the imperial center was instrumental in unraveling the Soviet Union.Lviv's borderlands identity was defined by complicated relationships with its Polish neighbor, its imperial Soviet occupier, and the real and imagined West. The city's intellectuals-working through compromise rather than overt opposition-strained the limits of censorship in order to achieve greater public use of Ukrainian language and literary expression, and challenged state-sanctioned histories with their collective memory of the recent past. Lviv's post-Stalin-generation youth, to which Risch pays particular attention, forged alternative social spaces where their enthusiasm for high culture, politics, soccer, music, and film could be shared.The Ukrainian West enriches our understanding not only of the Soviet Union's postwar evolution but also of the role urban spaces, cosmopolitan identities, and border regions play in the development of nations and empires. And it calls into question many of our assumptions about the regional divisions that have characterized politics in Ukraine. Risch shines a bright light on the political, social, and cultural history that turned this once-peripheral city into a Soviet window on the West. 410 0$aHarvard historical studies ;$vv. 173. 606 $aNationalism$zUkraine$zL?viv$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aEthnicity$zUkraine$zL?viv$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aUkrainian language$xPolitical aspects$zUkraine$zL?viv$xHistory 607 $aL?viv (Ukraine)$xHistory$y20th century 607 $aL?viv (Ukraine)$xPolitics and government$y20th century 607 $aL?viv (Ukraine)$xSocial conditions$y20th century 607 $aL?viv (Ukraine)$xRelations$zSoviet Union 607 $aL?viv (Ukraine)$xRelations$zEurope 607 $aSoviet Union$xRelations$zUkraine$zL?viv 607 $aEurope$xRelations$zUkraine$zL?viv 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aNationalism$xHistory 615 0$aEthnicity$xHistory 615 0$aUkrainian language$xPolitical aspects$xHistory. 676 $a947.7/9 700 $aRisch$b William Jay$01112003 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996472041903316 996 $aThe Ukrainian West$92637642 997 $aUNISA
