Dear CCI Friends,
We are deluged with news and analysis of the war in Ukraine and with constant, and contrary, speculation on who will ‘win.’ There is little being said about what comes after the tragedy ends and the major players have left the stage.
Professor Nicolai Petro has decades of experience in observing and analyzing the countries and he has given the matter serious thought. In the interview below he focuses our attention on the possibilities for a post-war Ukraine. Could it possibly be a country purged of both Russophobia and Russophilia, the divisions that brought the present disaster? Petro’s deep assessment of the options for the future is thoughtful and thought provoking.
Please give us your thoughts.
What Is A ‘True’ Ukrainian?
The war has not made the answer to this essential question of Ukrainian identity any easier.
