UKRAINE

@Ukraine:Introduction

Background: Richly endowed in natural resources, Ukraine has been
fought over and subjugated for centuries; its 20th-century struggle
for liberty is not yet complete. A short-lived independence from
Russia (1917-1920) was followed by brutal Soviet rule that engineered
two artificial famines (1921-22 and 1932-33) in which over 8 million
died, and World War II, in which German and Soviet armies were
responsible for some 7 million more deaths. Although independence was
attained in 1991 with the dissolution of the USSR, true freedom
remains elusive as many of the former Soviet elite remain entrenched,
stalling efforts at economic reform, privatization, and civic
liberties.
