Its central location between Eastern Europe and Western Asia invited many different cultures to settle the land, ultimately populating a powerful early medieval society known as Kievan Rus. However, readers will learn how Kievan Rus's Golden Age quickly crumbled with decades of Mongol invasions, Polish-Lithuanian occupation, and Russian empirical ruling. Explore how Ukraine flirted with independence in the early 20th century, only to be quickly taken over by harsh Soviet rule in 1922. Despite its independence from the USSR in 1991, devastating consequences of the socialist rule have allowed the world to witness Ukraine's ceaseless efforts to attain a stable government, struggling through the poisoning of Viktor Yushchenko, rigged elections, and the Orange Revolution. --from publisher description. 000694185 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 000694185 651_0 $$aUkraine$$xHistory. 000694185 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aKubicek, Paul.$$tHistory of Ukraine.$$dWestport, Conn. : Greenwood Press, 2008$$z9780313349201$$w(DLC) 2008026717$$w(OCoLC)229020790 000694185 830_0 $$aGreenwood histories of the modern nations. 000694185 8520_ $$bacq 000694185 85280 $$bebk$$hEbrary 000694185 85640 $$3ProQuest Ebook Central$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/usiricelib-ebooks/detail.action?docID=617383$$zOnline Access 000694185 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:694185$$pGLOBAL_SET 000694185 980__ $$aEBOOK 000694185 980__ $$aBIB 000694185 982__ $$aEbook 000694185 983__ $$aOnline
