Summary of Paul D'Anieri's Ukraine and Russia

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.

Book Preview:

#1 The conflict between Ukraine and Russia is the result of deep normative disagreements and conflicts of interest, and it is not dependent on mistakes by leaders.

#2 The problems that erupted in 2014 emerged from the conflict between Ukraine, Russia, Europe, and the United States that began in the post-Cold War period.

#3 The conflict in Ukraine was not caused by the overthrow of the Yanukovych government in 2013, nor was it caused by the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand in 1914. It was caused by the deep mutual fears that the status quo in eastern Europe might change irreversibly.

#4 The complexity of the relationships involved has been overlooked, because it is difficult to focus on internal affairs in Ukraine and Russia, their relationship with each other, and their relationships with the West.
