Vratsuba – Ichnia: PC “Format”, 2018. – 332 p. Translator: Tetiana Vratsuba ISBN 978-966-1567-62-6 The new book by Professor M. Lazarovych contains a brief overview of the Russian- Ukrainian war that has been continuing in Ukraine since 2014. Its main reasons and preconditions, ideological principles and course of combat actions are described. The main stages of the forced annexation of Crimea by Russia, the occupation of separate districts of Donetsk and Luhansk regions, and the massive invasion of the Russian regular military forces to Ukraine were investigated. Moreover, the essence of the Russian hybrid war against the Ukrainian state, its types and ways of its implementation were analyzed. Considerable attention is paid to the processes of the revival of the Ukrainian Army, its victories and defeats, the role of the volunteer movement in strengthening the defense capability of our country. The peculiarities and tendencies of the reaction of the international community in violation of the territorial integrity and sovereignty of Ukraine were generalized, the nature of the policy of the agreements on the Russian Federation was clarified. It was determined that the Russian aggression against Ukraine became possible not only through the establishment of a de facto Nazi regime in Russia headed by V. Putin but also through the overwhelming support of his actions by the vast majority of the Russian citizens. The preliminary consequences and lessons of the Russian-Ukrainian war have been established. © Mykola Lazarovych, 2018 ISBN 978-966-1567-62-6 © PC “Format”, 2018 Mykola Lazarovych «WE WILL GIVE OUR SOULS AND BODIES FOR OUR FREEDOM»: UKRAINE IN THE STRUGGLE AGAINST THE ARMED AGGRESSION OF THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION (2014–2018) Dedicated to fellow soldiers of the Ukrainian-Russian War and their families! INTRODUCTION Over the centuries, Ukraine, as the great French philosopher Voltaire said, “always strived for freedom”1. This path was often followed by wars, famines, betrayals of leaders, thoughtless and cruel rebellions of masses, strifes and intrigues, when, as the famous Ukrainian writer and politi- cal figure Volodymyr Vynnychenko wrote in his diary, “Ukrainian history must be read with bromine”2. Just the fact that, according to the sci- entists, during 1914-1945, as a result of two world wars, organized by the communist oppression regime, collectivization and the Holodomor of 1921-1923 and 1932-1933, every second man and every fourth wom- an was violently killed in Ukraine3. Demographers claim that no other European nation, except the Jewish one, has suffered as much loss as Ukrainians did. Nevertheless, the history of Ukraine is described with majestic com- mitment and incredible sacrifices, heroism and courage. Hard and heroic historical way that Ukrainians have overcome is worth a great European nation. A new stage of the national-state revival of a Ukrainian society started in the mid-1980s. The first decisive step was the Declaration of State Sove- reignty by the Verkhovna Rada on July 16, 1990; second step – the Dec- laration of Independence of Ukraine on August 24, 1991; and the third – the All-Ukrainian Referendum on the Approval of the Declaration of In- dependence of Ukraine, which took place on December 1, 1991. Thus, after a long period of statelessness, Ukrainian people received another unique opportunity to establish their state as an equal member in the international community. Important milestones on this path in- cluded the Orange Revolution of 2004 and, in particular, the Revolution 1 Січинський В.

The rally in support of the declaration of independence of Ukraine, 1991 After the declaration of independence, Ukraine’s special task was to establish a balanced and truly affiliate partnership with the Russian Fede ration (RF), while simultaneously effectively counteracting its possi- ble attacks on the sovereignty of Ukraine. After all, Russia for centuries held a fierce resistance to the formation of Ukrainian statehood. How- ever, as the future showed, the Russian political elite did not get rid of the imperial mindset and demonstrated an unwillingness to recognize new independent states, including Ukraine, as its equal partners. Only two days after the declaration of Ukrainian independence, a request was received from the Kremlin, stating that Russia reserves the right to re- consider the borders of the republics that would exit the USSR4. 4 Здобуття незалежності України 1991.

Травин. – Санкт-Петербург : Норма, 2010. – С. 14. «We will give our souls and bodies for our freedom» 7 Since then, despite the declared strategic partnership between Ukraine and Russia, topics such as the “Russian status” of Crimea and the Black Sea Fleet continued to spread among Russian politicians and Russian media as well as the so-called problem of violation of the rights of “Russian-speaking population” abroad, and so on. Parliament of the RF has repeatedly adopted resolutions that were not only an open inter- ference in the internal affairs of our country but also contained several territorial claims to it. Thus, in May 1992, the former Verkhovna Rada of the Russian Federation issued an official statement that the acts on the transfer of the Crimean region to Ukraine had no legal force since their adoption. On July 9, 1993, the highest legislative body of the Russian Federation adopted a resolution “About the status of the city of Sevasto- pol”, which stated that the Ukrainian city has “Russian federal status in the administrative-territorial boundaries of the city district as of Decem- ber 1991”5. This serious violation of international law was condemned by the United Nations Security Council. In an effort to force Ukraine to concessions, Russia, at least seven times in the course of three years, has transferred the procedure for the conclusion of the Russian-Ukrainian Treaty on Friendship, Cooperation, and Partnership, which was established in 1995 but signed only on May 31, 19976. For a long time, Russia without any reason was delaying the delimitation of the borders between our countries. Only in January 2003, at the time of the arrival of President Vladimir Putin to Kyiv, the Treaty on the Land Border between Russia and Ukraine was finally signed7. But the status of the Sea of Azov and the Kerch Strait is still not defined. The parties can not reach an agreement due to the excessive claims of the Russian Federation. 5 Здобуття незалежності України 1991. Історія проголошення, документи, свідчення [Текст] : у 2 т.

In accordance with the historical and cultural ties, an ethnic and territorial affinity of Ukraine and Crimea, the Verk- hovna Rada of the USSR on February 19, 1954, issued a decree on the inclu- sion of the Crimean region into the Ukrainian SSR [Чекаленко Л. Історія процесу перепідпорядкування Кримської області Україні [Текст] / Л. Чекаленко // Віче. – 2014. – № 5. – С. 9–11]. The poor post-war years in Crimea, and the inability of Russia to provide the population and the Black Sea Fleet, first of all, with food has led to a situation when the government and the Verkhovna Rada of the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic (RSFSR) voluntarily initiated the issue of transferring the pe- ninsula to the Ukrainian SSR.

  • Land Auctions
    Dear friends, Today the autonomy has good prospects for investments, a priority region for the economic development of our country. It may and must turn from a subsidized region into a profitable one. This is our key target. Our Crimean strategy of social and economic renewal and development is based on it. No doubt that the Crimea will become a pearl of Ukraine, will be able to successfully implement the whole resort and tourist, agricultural, transport, industrial and certainly land potential. This and other similar publications of the Crimean government popularize the issues of improving business climate in the autonomy, activating investment activities in the region and transparent sales of land in the Crimea. For us holding open auctions is not merely the establishment of clear and understandable rules for doing investing business but also direct replenishment of the republican budget. At the same time this transparent method of selling land will put an end to the illegal schemes of enriching and will enable to use the land – a most valuable Crimean resource – for the benefit of the budget and all the Crimean citizens. I am convinced that this catalogue will become a reference book for a domestic and foreign investor and businessman.

  • New Civic Activism in Ukraine: Building Society from Scratch?
    New Civic Activism in Ukraine: Building Society from Scratch? Susann Worschech European University Viadrina Abstract Since Euromaidan, civil society in Ukraine faces new challenges and a new role in society. Volunteer work, donations and civic activism have increased vis-à-vis the humanitarian crisis and the war in Eastern Ukraine in an unprecedented dimension. Civil society’s takeover of state responsibilities depicts the compensation of state failure. But it is questionable whether the post-Euromaidan civil society contributes to Ukraine’s democratization process. Based on two case studies, in this article I examine new issues civil society in Ukraine deals with, what forms the basis of a new quality of civic activism and participation. Further, I describe structures, activities and interrelations of this new Ukrainian volunteer movement, with the aim to discuss its ambivalent role in fragile democratization. Key Words: civil society; democratization; volunteer movement; Euromaidan; Ukraine, trust networks. 3 Introduction Euromaidan, or the “Revolution of Dignity”, marked a watershed for Ukrainian civil society and scholars alike. Until that event, civil engagement, self-organization and societal solidarity were considered low in the post-soviet space.1 At the same time, the existing organized civil society was described as elitist, artificial, and donor-driven.2 But since the nation-wide protests of 2013– 2014, civil society in Ukraine grew to an unprecedented dimension. The huge and unexpected 1 David Ost, “The Decline of Civil Society After ‘Post-Communism,’” in The New Politics of European Civil Society, ed.

INTRODUCTION The demarcation line (the line of contact)1 and the ‘grey zone’ between the government-controlled2 and uncontrolled territories3 of the Donetsk and Luhansk regions separates the parties to the conflict in the east of Ukraine. The areas controlled by the Ukrainian authorities and bordering the ‘grey zone’ are very politically sensitive, highly militarised, and fall under a special governance regime that is different from the rest of the country. In the absence of a comprehensive political settlement and amid uncertain prospects, it is unclear how long this situation will remain. It is highly likely that over the next few years, Ukrainians in areas adjacent to the contact line will live under very particular and unusual governance structures, and in varying degrees of danger.
