Situated within 40 km of the Ukrainian-Russian border it is one of those East-Central European “liminal” cities which became a center of modernization and pluralization in the borderland area, playing a prominent role in the process of nation building. Volodymyr Kravchenko’s expanded edition of \u003cem\u003eKharkov\/Kharkiv\u003c\/em\u003e, now in the English-language and including a new chapter on the reconfiguration of the Ukrainian-Russian borderland during and after the watershed Euromaidan event, uniquely uncovers the city’s long history, from the 17th century to today. Addressing issues of regional and national identities, Ukrainian-Russian relations, mental mapping, historical narratives and the ensuing de\/reconstruction of national mythologies, this book, fills a unique gap in the literature on Kharkiv.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57278984847734,"sku":"9781836953876","price":19.56,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/stand_39933152.jpg?v=1770886352","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781836953876-kharkovkharkiv","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
