Three Revolutions: Mobilization and Change in Contemprary Ukraine III

The third instalment of this multi-volume project presents a selection of archival sources from the time of Ukraine’s Revolution on Granite in October 1990. They include telegrams sent to participants of the Revolution from supporters in different parts of Ukraine, KGB documents such as internal notes and other records, as well as transcripts of parliamentary sessions from the time of the revolution.
