The Maidan and Beyond
Ukrainians flocked to the Maidan to express a “choice for Europe,” but they may also have forged the beginnings of a new Ukrainian identity. Events in Ukraine present the post–Cold War order in Europe with a challenge deeper than any it has ever seen, and democratic prospects across a vast swath of Eurasia seem cloudier than before as the world wonders how much more “pushback” Vladimir Putin has planned against liberaldemocratic forces at home an…

Leszek Kolakowski (1927–2009)
Leszek Kolakowski (1927–2009) Nadia Diuk, Richard Pipes, George Weigel, Abbas Milani, Zbigniew Brzezinski, Jerzy Szacki, and Carl Gershman The eminent Polish philosopher, Leszek Kolakowski, who had a major influence on the development of the Polish democratic opposition, died on 17 July 2009.

Reading Russia
Reading RussiaIs There a Key? Nadia Diuk (bio) Western experts, analysts, and policy makers always seem to be looking for the "key" that will explain Russian political behavior and provide insights into future Russian actions in the international arena. Certainly, the exercise of trying to discern what the Russian national interest might be is a good place to start, but the problem is that Russians themselves share no consensus on what their nati…
Russian Democracy in Eclipse
The article profiles the next generation of young Russians, aged 18-35 and concludes that they are materially the best-off group of Russian ever. It explores their voting preferences and questions why they support President Putin in such large numbers. Their values and how far they have moved from Soviet ideals toward a Western mentality are described, as are the prospects for the new leaders from this generation. Even though they constitute the …
Post-Election Blues in Ukraine
When Ukrainians went to the polls to vote in parliamentary elections on 31 March 2002, they were choosing the membership of a political institution that is distinctive in the post-Soviet context. Ukraine's 450-seat unicameral legislature, the Verkhovna Rada (Supreme Council), is the only national assembly outside the Baltic states and Georgia where representatives from all the major political forces in the country can consistently express their v…
Ten Years After the Soviet Breakup
As they emerged from the wreckage of the old Soviet Union, all the non-Russian republics confronted the same triad of mighty tasks: consolidate statehood, reform the economy, and establish democracy. The test was and is formidable. Each republic has had to lay a firm foundation for sovereign statehood and overhaul a Moscow-run command economy while learning to conduct its political life according to internationally recognized principles of freedo…

Ukraine
Ukraine: A Land in Between Nadia Diuk (bio) Although parliament has heretofore exercised relatively little power in Ukraine, parliamentary elections nonetheless provide an important indicator both of public opinion and of Ukraine’s progress toward developing a coherent party system. On 29 March 1998, Ukrainian voters chose a new parliament in the second national election to be held since their country became independent of the dissolving Soviet U…
