A year of population. In these pages we focus on some as yet weak, but historically highly significant attempts, to develop a genuine anti-bureaucratic perspective.— Colin
THE Ukrainian
UKRAINE strongly criticized by Ukrainian nationalist forces who saw it as a concession to referendum on
December 1,
1991, in which independence
90% voted "yes"
to independence, was an important
Great Russian domination.
Likewise the issue of control over the strategic nuclear forces based in Ukraine and their eventual removal, remains unresolved. The West is exerting strong pressure on Ukraine to hand these forces over to Russia, while the Kravchuk leawatershed in
Eastern and Central Europe, as a new state of more than 50 million people emerged almost overnight. This also sounded the death knell of the Soviet Union which was liquidated within a month of the birth of the Ukrainian state.
POUL FUNDER LARSEN - December 7, 1992
OLLOWING the failed putsch
F of August 1991, the Ukrainian
Supreme Soviet declared the republic's independence, a decision later confirmed by the December referendum. However, a mere five months earlier, in March 1991, 70% of
Ukrainian voters had endorsed the concept of a "renewed Soviet Union" in the all-Union referendum staged by Gorbachev. Further adding to the uncertainty about Ukraine's new role as an independent state was the fact that even if a president was elected - with top former bureaucrat Leonid Kravchuk winning a resounding victory, no new elections were called for the Supreme Soviet
(elected back in March 1990).
Ukraine was one of the three founders of the (at first exclusively Slavic) Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS)
set up in December 1991 and subsequently enlarged. But throughout this first, turbulent year of the CIS' existence, Ukraine has remained one of its most reluctant members. It has only signed a minority of the agreements made in the CIS framework - for example, only five out of the 15 agreements carried at the CIS summit this October. It has also recently refused to sign the Charter which outlines the Commonwealth's field of action.
Parts of the Ukrainian opposition have been highly critical of the CIS, pointing to the dangers of Russian domination of its institutions. Indeed, relations between Ukraine and Russia have been fraught with a series of tensions over security and territorial issues since the break up
The protracted dispute over the division of the Black Sea fleet was temporarily settled by an agreement between Yeltsin and Kravchuk instituting a joint commando, which is to function for the next three years. But this decision was dership seems to be inclined to use them as a bargaining chip in negotiations over
One of the potentially explosive differences between Russia and Ukraine concerns the future of Crimea, which is also the base of the Black Sea fleet. This peninsula belonged to Russia until 1954 when it was given to the Ukraine by Khrushchev. Two thirds of its current inhabitants are Russians. After the Russian-Ukrainian summit at Dagomys in June this year injected a temporary measure of stability into relations between the two states, and as Russian demands for the secession of Crimea subsided, the issue receded into the background.
