The Profiles analyse trends and policy developments and make an overall assessment of the political, economic and social framework of the housing and land management sector in a country. This work was initiated by the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) Committee on Housing and Land Management in the early 1990s, in response to requests from UNECE member States. These studies are requested by member States and carried out by international teams of experts in cooperation with governmental bodies, other international organizations, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), local authorities and the private sector. Through a process of broad consultation, the experts undertake a comprehensive review of the housing and land management sectors and develop recommendations to help policymakers draft strategies and programmes. This country profile on Ukraine’s housing and land management sectors, prepared at the request of the Ministry of Regional Development, Construction, Housing and Communal Services, is the sixteenth in the series. The country profile programme continues to emphasize in-depth analysis and policy recommendations, while also focusing on specific challenges or achievements in the housing and land management sectors that are particularly relevant to the country under review. In the case of Ukraine, these issues are: housing supply and affordability; energy efficiency; spatial planning and land administration; and the legal, institutional and financial framework. This country profile report lays out a set of policy recommendations. Their timely and effective implementation is regarded as crucial to meeting the challenges Ukraine currently faces in the areas of housing and land management. I would like to thank the international and local experts who contributed to the preparation of this country profile, as well as the Governments that provided funding for its development. I invite all those with an interest in Ukraine’s housing and land management sectors — policymakers and legislators, Government officials, academics, NGOs and other national stakeholders, as well as international organizations, lender and donor organizations, technical assistance agencies and private sector investors — to make full use of the information and recommendations contained in the study. It can serve as a framework for future action and can help shape programmes at the national and local levels. Finally, I would like to stress the relevance of the country profile reviews as unique instruments that allow UNECE countries to share experiences in housing and land management issues, to compare trends and gain knowledge from different practices, to adopt policies and planning tools and to learn about the actions implemented. Our experience has shown that Country Profiles are a practical policy tool that all stakeholders concerned can use to address development-related challenges in the housing and land management sectors, most particularly in countries with emerging economies such as Ukraine. Sven Alkalaj Executive Secretary United Nations Economic Commission for Europe iii PREFACE This country profile on the housing and land management sectors of Ukraine was requested by the Ministry of Regional Development, Construction, Housing and Communal Services and began with a preparatory mission by the UNECE secretariat. A fact-finding mission by the international expert team was carried out in March 2012. The project’s expenses were covered by extrabudgetary funds provided by Governments. The successful conclusion of the project would not have been possible without this generous support. Previous studies in the series include Bulgaria (ECE/HBP/101, published in 1996), Poland (ECE/HBP/107, 1998), Slovakia (ECE/HBP/111, 1999), Lithuania (ECE/HBP/117, 2000), Romania (ECE/HBP/124, 2001), Republic of Moldova (ECE/HBP/125, 2002), Albania (ECE/HBP/130, 2002), Armenia (ECE/HBP/132, 2004), Russian Federation (ECE/HBP/131, 2004), Serbia and Montenegro (ECE/HBP/139, 2006), Georgia (ECE/HBP/143, 2007), Belarus (ECE/HBP/150, 2008), Kyrgyzstan (ECE/HPB/157, 2010), Azerbaijan (ECE/HBP/160, 2010) and Tajikistan (ECE/HBP/163, 2011). Six other UNECE publications related to housing may also prove useful to Ukraine and other countries in transition: (a) Guidelines on Condominium Ownership of Housing for Countries in Transition (ECE/HBP/123, 2003); (b) Housing Finance Systems for Countries in Transition: Principles and Examples (ECE/HBP/138, 2005); (c) Guidelines on Social Housing: Principles and Examples (ECE/HBP/137, 2006); (d) Self-made Cities: In Search of Sustainable Solutions for Informal Settlements in the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe Region (ECE/HBP/155); (e) Green Homes: Towards Energy Efficient Housing in the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe Region (ECE/HBP/159); Climate Neutral Cities: How to Make Cities Less Energy and Carbon Intensive and More resilient to Climatic Challenges (ECE/HBP/168).

For a while I couldn’t figure out where the border was. Our driver didn’t really want to take us there, because the road was well off the main highway and full of potholes. He didn’t want to damage his car. He kept saying, ‘the border is just over there,” and pointing out the window. “Where?” we asked. But he just kept repeating the same phrase and pointing across the field. Eventually we asked him to stop and decided to walk. “Do you have good walking shoes?” Antoine asked. “Yes, of course, let’s go!” I answered.

  • Introduction

    Cambridge University Press 978-1-108-84025-5 — Remaking Ukraine after World War II Filip Slaveski Excerpt More Information Introduction There’s no point in rebuilding that collective farm. There’s no village there, the farm worked poorly in the past and the soil is bad. What’s worse, the people there aren’t even real kolkhozniki – they’re just rotten. Soviet official, Kyiv Oblast, Ukraine, 19481 This is a history of ‘rotten’ people. Thousands of them returned victorious from fighting against the Germans in World War II to their ‘bad soil’ in Soviet Ukraine from 1945, but had to keep fighting until the end of that decade. Now they were fighting against their own Soviet government, which obstructed them from rebuilding their villages, farms and what remained of their pre-war lives. These people were not wartime collabor- ators, forced labourers or other ‘traitorous’ Soviet citizens whom officials normally discriminated against and slandered after the war. Numerous works have been published on their experiences.2 The people whom authorities called ‘rotten’ were decorated war veterans and committed kolkhozniki, whom authorities were supposed to assist in, not obstruct from, rebuilding post-war Soviet society. This book examines the struggle between these ‘rotten’ people and the authorities, which reveals a new fault line in the restoration of Soviet control in parts of the Ukrainian country- side after World War II. The Soviet society that re-emerged in these areas shook chaotically along this fault line in ways we are only beginning to understand. 1 Russian State Archive of Socio-Political History (Rossiiskii gosudarstvennyi arkhiv sotsial0no-poli- ticheskoi istorii – RGASPI) f.

Goodman University of Pennsylvania Nina A. Lyulkun Khmel’nyts’kyi National University This article presents results of an exploratory survey conducted at a central- western Ukrainian university of students’ current usage of and attitudes towards Ukrainian, Russian, and English. Before 1989, Soviet language policy positioned Russian over Ukrainian as the language of power and as the sole language of higher education. The effectiveness of national policies in post-Soviet Ukraine aimed at affirmative action for the Ukrainian language has been debatable and constrained by geographical factors of language use and language policy. The po- litical and economic status of English has the potential to impact the position of both Ukrainian and Russian in Ukraine.

    The Crimean Tatar Question: a Prism for Changing Nationalisms and Rival Versions of Eurasianism*

    The Crimean Tatar Question: A Prism for Changing Nationalisms and Rival Versions of Eurasianism* Andrew Wilson Abstract: This article discusses the ongoing debates about Crimean Tatar identity, and the ways in which the Crimean Tatar question has been crucial to processes of reshaping Ukrainian identity during and after the Euromaidan. The Crimean Tatar question, it is argued, is a key test in the struggle between civic and ethnic nationalism in the new Ukraine. The article also looks at the manner in which the proponents of different versions of “Eurasianism”—Russian, Volga Tatar, and Crimean Tatar—have approached the Crimean Tatar question, and how this affects the attitudes of all these ethnic groups to the Russian annexation of Crimea. Key words: Crimean Tatars, Euromaidan, Eurasianism, national identity, nationalism—civic and ethnic Introduction In the period either side of the Russian annexation of Crimea, the Crimean Tatar issue has become a lodestone for redefining the national identities of all the parties involved. The mainstream Crimean Tatar movement has been characterized by steadfast opposition first to the Yanukovych regime in Ukraine and then to Russian rule. This position has strengthened its longstanding ideology of indigenousness and special rights, but it has also * The author is extremely grateful to Ridvan Bari Urcosta for his invaluable help with research for this article, to Bob Deen and Zahid Movlazada at the OSCE HCNM, to Professor Paul Robert Magocsi, and to the anonymous reviewers who made useful comments and criticisms. 1 2 ANDREW WILSON belatedly cemented its alliance with Ukrainian nationalism. Meanwhile, Ukraine’s would‐be new supra‐ethnic civic identity draws heavily on the Crimean Tatar contribution.
