Ukraine's Revolt, Russia's Revenge
by Smith, Christopher M
- New
An eyewitness account by a US diplomat of Russia's brazen attempt to undo the democratic revolution in Ukraine
Told from the perspective of a US diplomat in Kyiv, this book is the true story of Ukraine's anti-corruption revolution in 2013-14, Russia's intervention and invasion of that nation, and the limited role played by the United States It puts into a readable narrative the previously unpublished reporting by seasoned US diplomatic and military professionals, a wealth of information on Ukrainian high-level and street-level politics, a broad analysis of the international context, and vivid descriptions of people and places in Ukraine during the EuroMaidan Revolution The book also counters Russia's disinformation narratives about the revolution and America's role in it
While focusing on a single country during a dramatic three-year period, the book's universal themes-among them, truth versus lies, democracy versus autocracy-possess a broader urgency for our times That urgency burns particularly hot for the United States and all other countries that are the targets of Russia's cyber warfare and other forms of political skullduggery
From his posting in US Embassy Kyiv (2012-14), the author observed and reported first-hand on the EuroMaidan Revolution that wrested power from corrupt pro-Kremlin Ukrainian autocrat Viktor Yanukovych
The book also details Russia's attempt to abort the Ukrainian revolution through threats, economic pressure, lies, and intimidation When all of that failed, the Kremlin exacted revenge by annexing Ukraine's territory of Crimea and fomenting and sustaining a hybrid war in eastern Ukraine that has killed more than 13,000 people and continues to this day
