Descriptionof Kharkov/Kharkiv

Kharkiv is Ukraine's second largest city and its former capital. Located 40 km from the Ukrainian-Russian border, it is one of those liminal cities in Eastern Central Europe that became a centre of modernisation and pluralisation in the border region and played a prominent role in the process of nation building. Volodymyr Kravchenko's expanded edition of Kharkov/Kharkiv, now available in English and containing a new chapter on the reshaping of the Ukrainian-Russian border region during and after the decisive Euromaidan event, uniquely reveals the city's long history from the 17th century to the present day. This book addresses issues of regional and national identity, Ukrainian-Russian relations, mental mapping, historical narratives and the resulting deconstruction/reconstruction of national mythologies, thus filling a gap in the literature on Kharkiv.
