In Russia and Ukraine: Entangled Histories, Divergent States, Maria Popova and Oxana Shevel explain how, over the last thirty years, Russia and Ukraine diverged politically, ending up on a catastrophic 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 鈥渁nti-Russia鈥� project. These irreconcilable goals, rather than geopolitical wrangling between Russia and the West over NATO expansion, are 鈥� the authors argue 鈥� essential to understanding Russia鈥檚 war on Ukraine.
