"The authors have woven a very interesting stand-alone narrative that demonstrates the complexities of Ukraine’s historical development. Readers will need to decide for themselves whether cross-regional differences (and nuances) actually tell us something that we really need to know in order to better understand the challenges to Ukraine’s nation-building project—the importance of which cannot be underestimated and is not in dispute—and whether these sub-macroregional differences are in fact more important than the broader regional divide that separates the ‘Two Ukraines’, each with their easily discernible
and contrasting ideological visions for Ukraine’s future."
