The course covers the Ukrainian society of today from political, cultural and identity- related perspectives against a solid historical background that illuminates how Ukrainian culture, identity and agency have emerged in the linguistic and religious borderlands of the Russian, Hapsburg and Ottoman empires. The course focuses particularly on state and nation-building in post-Soviet Ukraine since 1991 in a larger regional context and places a strong emphasis on identifying the factors that led to Russia's war against Ukraine.
