Wandering the Edge

1991 - Ukraine's 2nd Independence


Listen Later

Ukraine declared independence from the USSR on 24 August 1991. But it took years of inter-Soviet disfunction and terror to finally thrust independence upon numerous countries. The fall of the Soviet Union also didn't happen in one day, it took years and began with the election of Gorbachev in 1985 and pushed forward by thousands of pro-independence activists. This episode will look at how independence came not only to Ukraine, but to the other former Soviet republics in the early 1990s.
