Freiheitsschauplatz Ein Gesellschaftsportrait der Ukraine

Susann Worschech (KIU), 2025

Abstract: In this book, German and Ukrainian experts explain Ukrainian society for the first time; it is also the first German-language publication of a sociology of Ukraine.

Three revolutions in three decades, a vibrant civil society, and the epitome of resilience – Ukrainian society is as impressive and diverse as it is largely unknown in Germany. Who are the Ukrainians, and how do they see themselves and their country within Europe? How have the revolutions, the upheaval of the 1990s, and the developments since the Maidan shaped Ukrainian society? What role do Europeanization and the decades-long conflict with Russia play in Ukrainian society?
