Regionalism in Ukraine

Regionalism in Ukraine has been a significant force during the building of an independent state after the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991. While most acutely this issue manifested itself during the 2014 pro-Russian unrest in Ukraine, other ethnic minorities in Ukraine sought for greater political or economical autonomy during 1990s. These movements, while not being secessionist, were perceived by central government as a threat to the unity of the state.
