This is a brief outline of Ukrainian history after the demise of the Soviet Union. The key question is: What went wrong, when and why? How to explain the fact that a Soviet republic of 52 million people with highly developped industry, agriculture lost all of that, with industries going bankrupt, withmillions going abroad in search of jobs. Why did privatization led not to florishin private enterprise but to dismantling of industry, and selling it off to Western investors? Why did the Ukrainian farmers got nothing in a capitalist Ukraine and all the land went to Western owners? And all of that before 2022.
