Соціальні зміни і національна свідомість в Україні XX століття

The main themes of the book, which is based on the author's doctoral dissertation defended at Oxford University, are modernization, urbanization, Soviet economic and cultural policy, and national self-determination under colonial pressure. A new generation of readers, who now have access to many more archival sources, will find in this monograph a methodological tool for better understanding themselves as part of the Ukrainian political nation.
