Making Ukraine: Negotiating, Contesting, and Drawing the Borders in the Twentieth Century

The first comprehensive account of the making of Ukraine’s borders during the twentieth century.

This collection considers how, when, and under what conditions the borders that historically defined the country of Ukraine were agreed upon. A diverse set of transnational contexts are explored, focusing mostly on the critical period of 1917–54 and revealing the shared history of territory and state formation in Europe and the wider modern world.
