The recent tumult of Ukraine’s Orange Revolution and its aftermath has exposed some of the deep political, social, and cultural divisions that run through the former Soviet republic. Examining Odessa, the Black Sea port that was once the Russian Empire’s southern window onto Europe, Kaleidoscopic Odessa provides an ethnographic portrait of these overlapping divisions in a city where many residents consider themselves separate and distinct from Ukraine. Exploring the tensions between local and national identities in a post-Soviet setting from the point of view of everyday life, T

What was the role played by local police volunteers in the Holocaust? Using powerful eye-witness descriptions from the towns and villages of Belorussia and Ukraine, Martin Dean’s new book reveals local policemen as hands-on collaborators of the Nazis. They brutally drove Jewish neighbors from their homes and guarded them closely on the way to their deaths. Some distinguished themselves as ruthless murders. Outnumbering German police manpower in these areas, the local police were the foot-soldiers of the Holocaust in the east.

Large scale manufacturing of liquid crystal flat panel displays (LCDs) by Japan brought the world’s attention to the existence of an enormous market potential exists when there are alternatives to the cathode ray tube (CRT). The Japanese have recognized that new display technologies are critical to making their products highly competitive in the world market. The CRT is losing market share to the solid-state flat panel display. Japan currently holds 90% of the market, and this book outlines opportunities in the former Soviet Union, where companies with the necessary technology are seekin

Contributing an historical basis for path dependency analysis and the role of social capital in newly established democracies, this book offers an analysis of the role of social capital in the democratic context in Eastern Europe. Focusing on Poland and Ukraine, the book fills a gap in the literature for integrated empirical and theoretical research with respect to post-Communist democratization, social capital versus democratization theory, and the case area study of Central and Eastern Europe. The book is suitable for students from graduate level upwards in Central and Eastern European studi

Jan Gross describes the terrors of the Soviet occupation of the lands that made up eastern Poland between the two world wars: the Western Ukraine and Western Belorussia. His lucid analysis of the revolution that came to Poland from abroad is based on hundreds of first-hand accounts of the hardship, suffering, and social chaos that accompanied the Sovietization of this poorest section of a poverty-stricken country. Woven into the author’s exploration of events from the Soviet’s German-supported aggression against Poland in September of 1939 to Germany’s attack on the Soviet Un
