Research study describes and analyzes Jewish-Ukrainian relations during the tenure of three presidential administrations in an independent, post-Soviet Ukraine. Uses an extensive collection of printed materials that spans the 20-year period from Gorbachev’s perestroika in the mid-1980s to the post-Orange Revolution crisis of spring 2007. Particular attention was focused on the parallel developments of Jewish and Ukrainian consciousness during this period, including such elements as the influence on Jewish-Ukrainian relations of Jewish and Ukrainian diasporas. The litmus test in Jewish-Ukrainian relations is anti-Semitism and the attitude of society overall and of Ukrainian and Jewish elites in particular to the manifestations of anti-Semitism during this 20year period are an integral part of this analysis. No other body of research or publication exists in any language that comprehensively and accurately describes and evaluates the evolving nature of the official and unofficial status of Jews during this period in modern Ukraine. This study was the basis of a presentation made at the 13th Annual ASN World Conference at the Harriman Institute at Columbia University in New York City on April 10-12, 2008 on the topic “Ukrainian and Russian Jews.”
