| Summary/Abstract |
SINCE THE COLLAPSE of the Soviet Union, Ukrainian-Russian relations have never been trouble free. After 1991, the Russian leadership headed by Boris Yeltsin assumed that sooner or later Ukraine would divide into several states.1 Whereby, until around mid-1993, the Russian establishment was more concerned with resolving Russia's domestic problems, while its foreign policy focused on relations with the U.S. and Western Europe. Harmonizing relations with the states that emerged in the Soviet Union's place was not a primary issue at first.

| Summary/Abstract |
We Shall Beat Our Swords Into Plowshares’, reads the inscription on a bronze statue presented by the Soviet Union to the United Nations in 1959, permanently installed in front of UN Headquarters on the East River. Symbolising the struggle for peace, it was sculpted by a Ukrainian, Evgeny Vuchetich. The road to peace after the erection of the monument in New York was bumpy, to say the least, but by 1990 the goal seemed to be in sight.

| Summary/Abstract |
Ukraine's main chance of entering Europe not as a source of labor force, but as a moderately developed industrialized country will be to go ahead with exports to Russia and other countries where Ukrainian manufactures are in demand.
Ukraine's socio-political and economic crisis did not emerge out of nowhere and it will not die down all by itself. It has lasted throughout the period of post-Soviet transformation, and there are no immediate reasons to hope it will end soon. Our observations made from the very outset of this process1 provide ample reasons to postulate that the original expectations of progress have failed to materialize. In 2007 we maintained that Ukraine had very good chances of taking a worthy place in Europe by virtue of the potential competitive edges of the Ukrainian economy, but that would require hard work, patience, time and a coherent policy. Over the past five to ten years, in particular, in the context of the current political crisis, that chance has been wasted and, regrettably, another one may offer itself only in the distant future
