Overview

This volume highlights the problems of the environment and industry in Ukraine from 1985 to 1990. It begins with the aftermath to Chernobyl (the subject of two earlier works by the author) and continues with other ecological issues. The main theme of the book is the close link between the damage to nature and the growth of political activism and patriotism in Ukraine. In turn, industrial workers in Ukraine have acted independently to address labour conditions and the author pays special attention to the coal miners' strike of the summer of 1989. The volume aims to demonstrate the politicization of Ukraine on the eve of sovereignty and the follies of an outdated system of centralized planning.
