What comprises Europe today, both geographically and culturally? Geographically, it is popularly understood to be the European continent/peninsula all the way to the Ural Mountains, down the Ural River and then to the Caspian Sea (Wikipedia). Ukraine is one of the countries situated in the eastern part of Europe. In discussing contemporary Ukraine in the present book, we refer to the newly independent, post-Soviet country that is now trying to reaffirm its identity. Many countries in Europe found or built their own national identities over the past several hundred years. This concerned not only each country’s identity as a nation but also its geographic and cultural mapping. History occasionally changes the fates of countries and individuals to such a degree that it almost seems to dislocate them. Until the early twentieth century, mapping Ukraine on the European continent was not an issue.
