The Eagle and the Trident: U.S.-Ukraine Relations in Turbulent
CHAPTER 1 Establishing Relations n the eve ning of December 1, 1991, Larry Napper, one of the OState Department’s foremost Soviet experts and destined to be the last director of its Office of Soviet Union Affairs, walked the streets of Kyiv. He had accompanied Assistant Secretary of State for Eu ro- pean affairs Thomas M. T. Niles to observe the in depen dence referen- dum that the Ukrainians had held earlier that day. The results of the vote streamed in, and they sent a resounding message. In the end, with a large turnout, more than 90 percent of the voters had opted for an in de pen dent state. Inde pen dence won even in Crimea, garnering 54 percent of the vote in the only part of Ukraine where ethnic Rus sians constituted a majority of the population. As Napper tracked the incom- ing vote tally and watched the reaction of Ukrainians in the capital, he quietly admired their inspirational act of self- determination and thought to himself: “It’s clear; the jig is up for the Soviet Union.” Washington now had to prepare urgently for the final collapse of its Cold War rival and the emergence of the New In de pen dent States, including Ukraine. And, after that happened, the U.S. government needed to get about the business of establishing a relationship with the new nation. 9 10 The Eagle and the Trident Ukraine’s Long and Complex History At its height in the early eleventh century, Kyivan Rus’ was the largest state in Eu rope. -
