Book presentation
Who would have bet, four years ago, that Ukraine would be able to resist Russia? Yet Vladimir Putin's "special military operation" has met with resistance from an army that has been able to respond, and even strike spectacular blows inside Russian territory. Above all, it came up against the reaction of a people who refused to accept the Russian yoke. Where does Ukrainian resistance come from?
From its trying and little-known history in Europe, from a political culture that has incorporated the right to insurrection, from a highly adaptable economy, and from other reasons too.
The purpose of this essay is precisely that: to shed light on the characters of this nation that explain its resistance. In a way, Ukraine has become a laboratory where the recipes for democracy to survive in a world that is abandoning all its ancient rules are being tested.
