Ukraine And The Russian Ukrainian Conflict

Ukraine’s hope and will was in the hands of the dictator Joseph Stalin. Joseph Stalin instilled a totalitarian government into Ukraine’s society. Moreover, Stalin tried to cut any threats that would affect his plan in making Russia a communist utopia, by using the secret police. But according to document 1, the Ukrainian’s were independent, rebellious people who believed strongly in their culture and traditional ways consequently, this caused much controversy with Joseph Stalin and the Ukrainian’s, such as Ukrainian’s not being able to speak up about the collectivization and not being able to practice different religions because of Russification. Likewise, Stalin used propaganda for in an effort of gaining support for collectivization, this

George Soros, the multi-billionaire hedge fund manager and founder and chairman of the Open Society Foundations, sees a way to solve the crisis in the Ukraine. Soros, who fled his native Hungary with his family in 1947 because of the Soviet aggression and communist takeover of his country, can relate to what is happening to the Ukrainian people in their resistance to the Russian aggression in their country. Soros makes a couple of proposals that he feels will benefit Ukraine in his that was featured in The New York Review of Books titled “Ukraine & Europe: What Should Be Done?” This article can be found at www.nybooks.com/articles/2015/10/08/ukraine-europe-what-should-be-done/.

This is another Important factor in the growth of the Zaporizhian Cossacks. They had Favourable conditions to sell the grain to Weastern Europe, The polish introuced a manorial system of agriculture. they asked for peasentry. they alloted less lands to the people they gave less freedom to people and their land. Then, The Fugitive peasents and Townpeople fled to steppes and established settlements, for a specific time period of 30 years . they fought for the Right to tax free settlement called Sloboda. and also they called themselves as Cossacks. But the Polish Kings who occupied created large latifundia and also tried to impose feudal dependency on both peasents and cossacks. these all led to bloody conflicts in which cossacks fought the polish government and the landowners, all of them brutally suppressed by the Poles. the growth of cossacks brought a confusion for the polish Government that the cossacks are helpfull for the defence of steppe frontier. they tried to control the cossack problem but they lost in the hands of cossacks. the cossacks became more stronger in the 17th century. Hetman petro Konashevych-sahaidachny spread their fame through successful campains against the tatars and the turks. also revived the traditions of the Kyivan Rus

The social-political status of contemporary Russia is quite the mixed bag. While you have Vladimir Putin and his United Russia party with a vast majority of the vote in nearly every election, there is a large variety of groups who speak out against him. In the days following the recent presidential election, where Putin was elected for a third term, tens of thousands of Russians protested the results of the election. Several different political and social groups make up these kind of protests, but what is interesting that most of these group’s ideologies have one thing in common—Nationalism. Nationalism come in various forms, but the three that are going to be discussed are Social, Imperial, and Radical Nationalists. Some argue that these groups hold dangerous ideologies, especially the militia-like groups. These groups are a part of these Putin protests in such large numbers because Putin is cited as the obstacle preventing the solving of Russia’s “problems. While these Communist, Imperialist, and Neo-Fascist groups may have generally unfavorable ideologies, much of what they cite as problems in Russia have some validity to them, and that together they can pose a serious threat to the established regime of United Russia.

Most people in Ukraine believe in the Eastern Orthodox religion. Eastern Orthodox is the main religion in Ukraine. The second leading religion in Ukraine is Catholicism. The third leading religion is Protestantism. These are the main religions in Ukraine.

The Ukrainian Revolution started as peaceful protest in 2013 but quickly rose to a chaotic revolution after a horrible series of events. In 2013 the protests were started students when work on an association agreement with the European Union had been suspended by Ukraine. This would have have been a huge step for Ukraine. By signing the association agreement they would have been more involved with Russia and the east after being mostly isolation from them since the 17th century. The protest continued on peacefully until November 30th in 2013. On that day Berkut special forces were sent to “clear out” the students during a protest. Live video was taken of the special forces beating these students bloody with rubber

Around the year 1648, power in Poland was diminishing as the uprise of the Cossacks was growing in Ukrainian society. As Poland was trying to re-establish their dominance in Europe, this brought to the Russo-Polish War in 1654, also known as the War for Ukraine. The war ended up lasting 13 years, and the result of the war and the many conflicts between the Cossacks was Russia and Poland dividing the lands of Ukraine. Ukraine became a major battleground for many of the surrounding countries, mainly Russia, leading to Russia establishing itself as a large power in Europe, while Ukraine’s autonomy began its decline.

“Ukraine officially declared itself an independent state in 1991,” with the collapse of the Soviet Union, “when the communist Supreme Soviet of Ukraine proclaimed that Ukraine would no longer follow the laws of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics and only the laws of the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republics.”[1] More than two decades later, the sovereign nation still has trouble escaping Russia’s threatening shadow. Ukraine’s geographical position between Europe and Russia has left the country divided culturally and politically. After many recent months of protests and street demonstrations, the Ukrainian people were successful in ousting their incompetent and corrupt president, Vicktor Yanukovych. Russian President Vladimir Putin however, was unwilling to accept this and in February of 2014 Russian troops, aided by pro-Russian local militia, occupied important sites across the Crimean Peninsula under the pretext of “protecting Russian people.” Now Crimea and possibly Eastern Ukraine is under Moscow’s control and the Russian parliament has voted to annex the region into the Russian Federation. [2] This is nothing new for Russia, as was evidenced

The Ukrainian war started in early 2014 when Russian the parliament signed a bill to annex the Crimean Peninsula. The war has continued with times of peace and violence dispersed sporadically throughout the past two years. On one side are the Ukrainian forces, and on the other are the pro-Russian separatists, who are backed by Russia. Putin, and the Russian parliament, are not only going against requests by the United Nations to stop their support of the rebellion, but also are using their own troops in the war. Russia’s involvement in the Ukraine war proves itself to go against both global morality and law. In order for the war to come to an end the Ukrainian government and its people need to cut ties and public denounce the unjust actions committed by the president and the parliament in Russia.

Throughout the years, it has been observed that conflicts are not being objectively covered by the media worldwide and the 2013 Ukrainian Revolution could not be an exception. For that reason, several articles and essays have been published from various writers during the years, identifying a different scope on the matter each.

Since 2011, the United-States of America has supported the Syrian revolution against the tyrannical government led by Bashar Al-Assad. However, the Russian government, led by Vladimir Putin, has supported Assad’s government. Since then, a forth independent actor has got involved. ISIS is a terrorist organisation mainly interested in gaining power and territory. Recently, the tensions around the Syrian conflict have increased but any country is physically present on Syrian ground. The United-States does not want to deploy troops on the ground, therefore they have emplaced a few sanctions and conducted airstrikes in Syria. However, there have been discords about what the US should do. Thus I will analyse and propose several viewpoints and

To be able to fully understand the purpose and the actions of the Novorossiya terrorist groups, one must first understand what caused the Ukrainian Conflict to erupt and the many developments that happened thereafter.

The invasion of the Crimea, and Donbass regions of Ukraine sent shock waves through European capitals. Protests were made, sanction were applied, and thus started a spiral of events that have brought Russia’s relations with the West to an all new low. In recent years many in the West (western democracies of Europe and North America) have been caught off guard by the actions of the Russian state. In order for the West to find a way forward that reduces conflict there must be an unbiased examination of the problem, and the actions taken by everyone involved. In doing so we will have to talk about how Russia sees NATO as a threat, how country’s see Russia as a threat. Doing this may help us gain a greater understanding of Russian actions in

In late November of 2013, Ukrainian leadership under President Yanukovych, decided to pursue closer trade ties with Russia instead of the European Union (Ukraine Crisis). This is vitally important because it revealed a split in the country which dates back to the early 1930’s. This split, according to a BBC article named Ukraine Crisis, resulted in the people of Western Ukraine inciting a protest numbering over 800,000. As explained by Chalupa, the European Union, or E.U., membership means distance from Russia and increased economic potential. Ties with Russia are opposed by the majority of the country because of the tumultuous past the two have together. With this in mind, the geo-political division that exists between the east and west has to be examined. The eastern part of the country is currently made
