While the cohesive power of traditions must be put into use within a particular nation, that same power challenges its national boundaries. To soften this contradiction, economic and/or political regionalism, in contrast to isolationism and globalism, becomes a solution, suggesting new and exciting routes to modernity.

ABSTRACT During the 1990s, Ukraine experienced a change in its political system, becoming a nominal liberal democratic with contested multiparty elections in combination with post-Soviet oligarch community. These newly established dimensions impacted two major revolutionary periods in Ukraine, dating from 1992-2004 and 2005-2014, reaching a climax of violent civil unrest during the Ukrainian Revolution of 2014. The Ukrainian Revolution, also known as the Euromaidan and Revolution of Dignity, illustrates the stages of modernization in a post-Soviet society. The Euromaidan mobilized a variety of regional and ethno-linguistic groups to demand political and economic reform. Members of oligarch clans, consisting mostly of ethnically Russian economic elites, are often appointed in regional government positions largely in the East, and hold substantial power in Ukrainian politics. My research question poses: “How did oligarchic concentration of economic and media power influence government functions such as public service delivery, and shape corruption patterns preceding the protest uprising in 2014?” In my thesis, I seek to study the impact of oligarch clans as holding centralized power, and how this system may affect Ukrainian national politics as seen under the leadership of former democratically elected, Pro-Russian president, Viktor Yanukovych, during the Ukrainian Revolution of 2014.

  • Ukrainian Oil and Gas Wars: a History of Corruption, a Future of Doubts
    Ukrainian Oil and Gas Wars: A History of Corruption, a Future of Doubts If anyone knows the ins and outs of Ukraine’s oil and gas industry, it’s Olena Tregub. Tregub, originally from the Ukraine, has spent the past several years working in Washington, DC as an independent political analyst and expert on Ukrainian oil and gas. She has written on topics about the Ukrainian economy for the Institute for Euro-Atlantic Cooperation in the Ukraine, a political action group supporting Ukraine’s EU integration. And when asked for her opinion on the current state of the country’s oil and gas business, she doesn’t mince words. “Traditionally, the industry has been about as transparent as a black box,” she says. “Only a few analysts in the whole country of Ukraine understand the oil and gas business. It’s been so complex and corrupt that it’s considered a state secret.” That may sound like an exaggeration, but to the handful of analysts familiar with the country’s history of government and business corruption, especially among oil and gas barons who have stolen billions from deals with Russia’s Gazprom, “black box” is an apt description. Ever since Ukraine established independence in the early 1990s, the country has struggled for economic viability, losing manufacturing market share and accumulating massive oil and gas debt. Most experts agree that the key to Ukraine’s long-term stability is a combination of energy independence and massive economic and democratic reforms. Ukraine is home to Europe’s third-largest shale gas reserves at 42 trillion cubic feet, according to the U.S.

  • © Copyright 2020 Volodymyr Sklokin 1 Catherine II, Evdokim Shcherbinin
    1 Catherine II, Evdokim Shcherbinin, and the Abolition of Sloboda Ukraine’s Autonomy1 Volodymyr Sklokin Ivan Ostroz’kyi-Lokhvyts’kyi (1750–1825), the son of the captain of the Slonovka company of the Ostrohoz’k regiment Iosyp Ostroz’kyi-Lokhvyts’kyi, left the following account of the events of 1763 in his memoir: Then a very terrible thunderclap of God’s anger crashed over all the Sloboda regiments in 1763, during the reign of Empress Ekaterina Alekseevna, and a special commission was appointed to the city of Ostrohoz’k over all the officers, of regimental and company rank. Nor did my father, captain Iosyp, escape that thundering stormcloud at that time; those under his command rebelled then and began to write false petitions, and especially at the instigation of the junior ensign Ivan Korets’kyi (who tried to return evil for good, because that captain often saved him from serious troubles, especially bootlegging, and from death itself…). Now [he was] dismissed from command, ordered not to absent himself from the commission, without making any excuses to compensate with many for grievance, even though false, since anything that anyone had given as a gift was regarded as bribery. And thus not waiting for the return of their captain from Ostrohoz’k, the common people began to rob horses from his farmstead, chop down forest acquired by first possession (zaimanshchynnyi), devastate the orchards, beat peasants in the streets for no reason, [and] curse his wife and children to their faces. There was no end to the abuse and insults that he suffered from those under his command, and especially from the relatives of the Korets’kyis, whom he, when they were still poor, provided with everything he had, and also supplied with bread, but they all forgot this and returned evil for good, especially in those evil days, and in all these actions they were the ringleaders and instigators of the common people to evil.2 These events also radically changed the life of Ivan, then a young student at the Kharkiv College.

The Russian government decided to freeze its financial aid of $12 billion (3 billion was provided in December) and cheaper natural gas prices the day after Ukrainian Prime Minister Mykola Azarov resigned on January 28. Meanwhile, the hryvnia has fallen the most of any currency this year except the Argentine peso, hitting its lowest value in five years on February 5. “We estimate that National Bank reserves can fall to an alarming level of $15 billion already by the end of February, which can lead to further hryvnia devaluation beyond the Bank’s control, further cuts to Ukraine’s credit ratings and eventually lead to Ukraine’s default by the end of this spring,” said Alexander Paraschiy, the head of research at Concorde Capital investment bank in Kyiv. Most of the key players have offered their solution, except for the Yanukovych administration, which is still deciding. The proposals have turned out to be just as divergent as the inter- ests of the players involved, indicating that whatever decision is made will draw a fierce reaction from someone else.
