1. This book explores memory, politics, and memory culture in contemporary Ukraine. Ukraine provides an important study into the battle between Westernized Europe and the political pull of Russia. With Russia annexing Crimea, government control of media in the country, and the fall of President Viktor Yaunkovych in 2014, Ukraine continues to be a site of contestation and a key indicator of the degree of Russia's increasing aggressions. 2. Wylega�a is a young academic who has firmly established herself as an advocate for the preservation and support of oral history, particularly focused on Poland and the Holocaust. She has published a monograph on resettlement and memory in Polish which earned a grant for translation into English. G�owacka-Grajper is a mid-career academic who has edited several collections and has written four monographs in Polish on cultural survival and ethnic identity. 3. This book will find an audience with scholars in the fields of memory studies and Ukraine studies, Central-European history, Holocaust and genocide studies.
