Russia cynically termed the seditionist conflict in Crimea and Eastern Donbas a 'civil war' in order to claim non-involvement. This flies in the face of evidence, but the authors argue that the social science literature on civil wars can be used help understand why no political solution was found between 2015 and 2022. The book explains how Russia, after seizing Crimea, was reacting to events it could not control and sent troops only to areas of Ukraine where it knew it would face little resistance (Eastern Donbas). Kremlin decisionmakers misunderstood the attachment of the Russian-speaking population to the Ukrainian state and also failed to anticipate that their intervention would transform Ukraine into a more cohesively 'Ukrainian' polity. Drawing on Ukrainian documentary sources, this concise book explains these important developments to a non-specialist readership 2013-2022 gnd 59749 Regimewechsel (DE-588)1126275905 gnd 59750 Russisch-Ukrainischer Krieg (DE-588)106969780X gnd Euromaidan (DE-588)1057900818 gnd 15853 Ukraine (DE-588)4061496-7 gnd Driscoll, Jesse 1978- Verfasser (DE-588)1046906879 aut 59748 https://doi.org/10.1017/9781009052924 Volltext oe z EB 70103 70103 0 0 z 0 0 DHIM DHIM ONRES 2024-01-15 24-e00057 E-24-e00057 72967 2024-01-15 09:40:13 2024-01-15 EB
