"The desire to affirm Ukraine’s national unity might be highly commendable but the recurrent attempts to dismiss the significance of multiple cleavages and contradictions can hardly be analytically productive. It leads ultimately to the conclusion that 'regionalism as a defining phenomenon of Ukraine is more prominent than the regions themselves'—a compelling formula for the book’s title but not a very comprehensive explanation of what 'regions' and 'regionalism' in Ukraine are all about."
