President Zelensky declined a Western evacuation offer and Ukrainians rallied to defend their country. What are the roots of this war, which has upended the international legal order and brought back the spectre of nuclear escalation? How did these supposedly "brotherly peoples" become each other's worst nightmare? In Russia and Ukraine: Entangled Histories, Diverging States, Maria Popova and Oxana Shevel explain how since 1991 Russia and Ukraine diverged politically, ending up on a collision course. Russia slid back into authoritarianism and imperialism, while Ukraine consolidated a competitive political system and pro-European identity. As Ukraine built a democratic nation-state, Russia refused to accept it and came to see it as an "anti-Russia" project. After political and economic pressure proved ineffective, and even counterproductive, Putin went to war to force Ukraine back into the fold of the "Russian world." Ukraine resisted, determined to pursue European integration as a sovereign state. These irreconcilable goals, rather than geopolitical wrangling between Russia and the West over NATO expansion, are - the authors argue - essential to understanding Russia's war on Ukraine." -- $c Back cover. 650 0 $a Russian Invasion of Ukraine, 2022 $x Causes. 651 0 $a Ukraine $x Foreign relations $z Russia (Federation). 651 0 $a Russia (Federation) $x Foreign relations $z Ukraine. 650 7 $a Diplomatic relations $2 fast 650 7 $a War $x Causes $2 fast 651 7 $a Russia (Federation) $2 fast 651 7 $a Ukraine $2 fast 648 7 $a Since 2022 $2 fast 655 7 $a History $2 fast 700 1 $a Shevel, Oxana, $e author. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20240320011106.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=38616758E67F11EE94C7D61345ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
