  15. Ukrainian Independence • On July 16, 1990 the Verkhovna Rada of Ukrainian SSR adopted the Declaration of State Sovereignty of Ukraine. • A referendum and the first presidential elections took place on December 1, 1991. That day, more than 90 percent of the Ukrainian people expressed their support for the Act of Independence, and they elected the chairman of the parliament, Leonid Kravchuk to serve as the first President of the country.

  16. What are the components of Cultural Identity? • Literature, Folklore, Customs, Music, Art, Social Attitudes and Language

  17. One Culture? • Ukraine is made up of the following ethnic groups: Belarussians, Bulgarians, Crimean Tatars, Hungarians, Jews, Poles, Romanians/Moldovans, and Russians. • These ethnic groups have various cultures which derive from the same common family

  18. Commonly Overlooked • Language as a component of National Identity. • Can these differences cause a split of the country or ethnic separation?

  19. Language Laws • Language Laws were passed shortly after the 1991 vote of Independence. • Many of the ethnic groups within Ukraine did not fully support such laws. Some groups believed it gave too much leeway allowing Russian to be spoken unofficially. While others did not want to be forced to speak a language foreign to them.

  20. Language in Ukraine Native language (according to annual surveys by the Institute of Sociology of the National Academy of Sciences): Spoken language in family (at home) (according to annual surveys by the Institute of Sociology of the National Academy of Sciences)

  21. Question • Will this cause a split in the U.S. if it becomes a one language country or a bilingual country.

  22. Viktor Yushchenko-President • Our Ukraine Bloc • free market economy • pro-West foreign policy • support from Western Ukraine • Ukrainian nationalism

  23. Viktor Yanukovych-Prime Minister • Party of the Regions • largest party in parliament • support from Eastern Ukraine • support of close ties with Russia • defends government of a few strong economic and political groups

  24. January 2005 • Yushchenko was sworn into the presidency. He won a re-vote against Yanukovych after the results of an initial presidential poll favoring Yanukovych were thrown out by the country’s Supreme Court following allegations of fraud.

  25. January 2006 • The parliament voted to dissolve the government. • Yushchenko, the president, criticized the constitutional changes that limited his authority as president and expanded the authority of parliament. He called for an entirely new constitution.

  26. In 2007 • To make peace the President (Yushchenko) appointed his opponent from the elections in 2005 (Yanukovych) as prime minister. • Power struggle--President vs Prime Minister/parliament • government is at a stand still because there is a question as to which group has more power the president or the parliament

  27. Let’s reflect! • Why didn’t this happen in the US after independence but it can happen in the Ukraine? • How can this crisis be solved? • Does this crisis matter in the wider world? If so, how?
