Kiev, Ukraine: From the Collapse of Socialism to the Mass Uprising of 2013-14

Roman Cybriwsky will discuss his new book about the recent unrest and violence in Ukraine, and how the mismanagement, corruption, and inequality of its capital, Kiev, helped create a civic revolt which led to the collapse of a national government. Cybriwsky is a professor in the Department of Geography and Urban Studies at Temple University, and in 2010 he was named Fulbright Scholar at the National University of Kyiv Mohyla Academy where he conducted research for his recent book, Kyiv, Ukraine: The City of Domes and Demons from the Collapse of Socialism to the Mass Uprising of 2013-14.
