This text features the forty-one articles and blogs David Marples wrote on Ukraine’s political troubles between 2013 and 2017. More precisely, the text ranges from the Euromaidan protests and eventual uprising to Russia’s annexation of Crimea and the outbreak of war in Ukraine’s two eastern provinces, Donetsk and Luhansk. The topics covered include 1) Ukraine’s attempts at ‘de-communization’; 2) the imposition of the so-called Memory Laws in 2015; and 3) whether the socio-political road Kiev has taken is likely to yield success or failure.
