Author Information: Professor emeritus of political science and international relations, University of Delaware. He has published several articles and chapters on Ukraine and the Soviet Union, as well as the books Endgame in NATO's Enlargement: The Baltic States and Ukraine and The Second Soviet Republic: The Ukraine After World War II. Bilinsky also served as president of the Ukrainian Academy of Arts and Sciences in the United States and was editor and major contributor to volume 14 of its Annals.

A graduate of Harvard College, Bilinsky was a special student in Soviet affairs at Harvard Graduate School of Arts and Sciences and received his doctorate from Princeton University. (from UD faculty listings)

Book Description: This  book contains a lot of information on topics such as language use and identity, as well as accounts of what happened in the areas taken over by the USSR from Poland and Czechoslovakia in 1945 and the supression of the Greek Catholic church. This is an excellent book, may be hard to find. Somewhat dated, obviously, but Ukrainophiles will not care! Bilinsky is sympathetic to Ukrainian nationalism. (Orange Ukraine reader WRY's review)

Recommendation: This book was recommended to me by frequent reader and commenter WRY.
