Example text

A far higher proportion of Western Ukrainians is believed to have participated in the Orange Revolution than eastern Ukrainians. See Kuzio, T. (2005) ‘Neither East Nor West: Ukraine’s Security Policy Under Kuchma’.

3) Shared history In contrast to the author’s expectations at the outset of the project, shared history remains the issue in Polish-Ukrainian relations. As Chapter 4 argues, it is at times of historical commemoration that the shared past spills over into the present, disrupting relations between Poland and Ukraine.
