Ukraine was the center of the first eastern Slavic state,
Kyivan Rus, which during the 10th and 11th centuries was
the largest and most powerful state in Europe. Weakened
by internecine quarrels and Mongol invasions, Kyivan Rus
was incorporated into the Grand Duchy of Lithuania and
eventually into the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. The
cultural and religious legacy of Kyivan Rus laid the foundation
for Ukrainian nationalism through subsequent centuries.
A new Ukrainian state, the Cossack Hetmanate, was established
during the mid-17th century after an uprising against
the Poles. Despite continuous Muscovite pressure, the
Hetmanate managed to remain autonomous for well over 100
years. During the latter part of the 18th century, most
Ukrainian ethnographic territory was absorbed by the Russian
Empire. Following the collapse of czarist Russia in 1917,
Ukraine was able to bring about a short-lived period of
independence (1917-20), but was reconquered and forced
to endure a brutal Soviet rule that engineered two artificial
famines (1921-22 and 1932-33) in which over 8 million
died. In World War II, German and Soviet armies were responsible
for some 7 to 8 million more deaths. Although final independence
for Ukraine was achieved in 1991 with the dissolution
of the USSR, democracy remained elusive as the legacy
of state control and endemic corruption stalled efforts
at economic reform, privatization, and civil liberties.
A peaceful mass protest "Orange Revolution"
in the closing months of 2004 forced the authorities to
overturn a rigged presidential election and to allow a
new internationally monitored vote that swept into power
a reformist slate under Viktor YUSHCHENKO. Subsequent
internal squabbles in the YUSHCHENKO camp allowed his
rival Viktor YANUKOVYCH to stage a comeback in parliamentary
elections and become prime minister in August of 2006.
An early legislative election, brought on by a political
crisis in the spring of 2007, saw Yuliya TYMOSHENKO, as
head of an "Orange" coalition, installed as
a new prime minister in December 2007.
After
Russia, the Ukrainian republic was far and away the most
important economic component of the former Soviet Union,
producing about four times the output of the next-ranking
republic. Its fertile black soil generated more than one-fourth
of Soviet agricultural output, and its farms provided
substantial quantities of meat, milk, grain, and vegetables
to other republics. Likewise, its diversified heavy industry
supplied the unique equipment (for example, large diameter
pipes) and raw materials to industrial and mining sites
(vertical drilling apparatus) in other regions of the
former USSR. Shortly after independence was ratified in
December 1991, the Ukrainian Government liberalized most
prices and erected a legal framework for privatization,
but widespread resistance to reform within the government
and the legislature soon stalled reform efforts and led
to some backtracking. Output by 1999 had fallen to less
than 40% of the 1991 level. Ukraine's dependence on Russia
for energy supplies and the lack of significant structural
reform have made the Ukrainian economy vulnerable to external
shocks. Ukraine depends on imports to meet about three-fourths
of its annual oil and natural gas requirements. Ukraine
concluded a deal with Russia in January 2006 that almost
doubled the price Ukraine pays for Russian gas. Disputes
with Russia over pricing have led to periodic gas cut-offs.
Outside institutions - particularly the IMF - have encouraged
Ukraine to quicken the pace and scope of reforms. Ukrainian
Government officials eliminated most tax and customs privileges
in a March 2005 budget law, bringing more economic activity
out of Ukraine's large shadow economy, but more improvements
are needed, including fighting corruption, developing
capital markets, and improving the legislative framework.
Ukraine's economy was buoyant despite political turmoil
between the prime minister and president until mid-2008.
Real GDP growth reached roughly 7% in 2006-07, fueled
by high global prices for steel - Ukraine's top export
- and by strong domestic consumption, spurred by rising
pensions and wages. The drop in steel prices and Ukraine's
exposure to the global financial crisis due to aggressive
foreign borrowing has lowered growth in 2008 and the economy
probably will contract in 2009. Ukraine reached an agreement
with the IMF for a $16.5 billion standby arrangement in
November 2008 to deal with the economic crisis. However,
political turmoil in Ukraine as well as deteriorating
external conditions are likely to hamper efforts for economic
recovery.
