The war in Ukraine
This Collection supports and amplifies research related to SDG 16 – Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions.
The territories encompassed by modern Ukraine have experienced complex patterns of governance and influence over centuries, including periods under various empires and powers.
During the Russian Empire’s expansion, large sections of modern Ukraine came under Russian control, with the Ukrainian language and culture facing restrictions and suppression. Following the Russian Revolution, Ukraine briefly declared independence before being incorporated into the Soviet Union as the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic. A defining moment came in 1932-33 when Soviet policies, notably Stalinist collectivisation, resulted in the Holodomor, a mass famine that killed millions of Ukrainians. Over the course of the remainder of the twentieth century, Ukraine experienced both russification policies and periods of limited cultural autonomy.
