In Ukraine’s presidential election of 2004, the establishment candidate Viktor Yanukovych had the advantage of a solid regional base, access to administrative resources, dominance in the media, Russian spin-doctors, and the support of Moscow. Yet the winner was the pro-Western challenger, Viktor Yushchenko. How did Ukrainian voters break through the barrage of propaganda so as to deliver their ultimate verdict? Was the divide between East and West Ukraine fact or PR fiction? In this volume scholars from two continents examine various aspects of the election that turned into an “Orange Revolution.” Following the editor’s scene-setting chapter which looks at the electoral laws and their consequences in the previous decade’s elections, presidential and parliamentary, the other contributors take up specific features of the 2004 contest. The critical part played by a single independent television broadcaster is one such contribution. Another reviews the coverage of the elections in the Russian press in Moscow, generally favourable to Yanukovych and always looking for parallels between Russia and Ukraine as well as for Russia’s interests. The myths and stereotypes of the campaign are taken up by two other contributors. Clearly, these overshadowed real issues. A fascinating essay exposes the linguistic innovations of the campaign, including the irony and humour unleashed by such incidents as the “egg attack” on Yanukovych. In the final essay, the machine politics, administrative resources, and fraud, which had worked so well in Donets’k are shown to have been less than successful on the national level for reasons of scale and impersonality. But like so much of contemporary politics, one still wonders if the “Orange Revolution” was only a media event.

Since independence in 1991, issues of nation and identity have become highly debated topics in Ukraine. This monograph explores not only how national identity is being (re)constructed by the Ukrainian state, but also the processes by which it is negotiated through society. The central argument of this work is that too much attention, concerning identity in Ukraine, has focused on markers of ethnicity and language. Instead, the author advocates a regional approach, engaging with the issue of how Ukraine’s regional differences affect nation-building processes. Following the tumultuous events of the ‘Orange Revolution’; the view of Ukraine as a country inherently ‘divided’ between ‘East’ and ‘West’ has (re)emerged to become a popular explanation for political events. The study outlines the necessity for academics, policymakers and indeed politicians to veer away from this simplistic ‘West versus East’ divide. The book advocates an analysis of Ukraine’s unique brand of regionalism not in terms of divisions, but in terms of regional differences and diversity. The author deconstructs the concept of ‘Eastern Ukraine’ by focusing on three Ukrainian localities, all adjacent to the Ukrainian-Russian border. The study examines how individuals provide ‘their’ own understanding of the place of their region within the wider processes of nation building across Ukraine. In doing so, the book develops a ‘regional’ approach to the study of identity politics in Ukraine.
