Recenzje

"Marko Bojcun has written an outstanding political-economic work on the emergence of an independent Ukraine from the early 1990s when the USSR came to an end to the present. He details the political evolution of its representative institutions as the country evolves from total nationalisation to forms of privatisation. At the same time, he describes the development of a politically conscious and socially divided population trying to cope with a struggling economy. In short, he has provided a unique and detailed thirty-year history of the political, social, and economic relations in Ukraine. Anyone specialising on Ukraine ought to have it."-Hillel Ticktin, Emeritus Professor of Marxist Studies at the University of Glasgow
