The Unfinished Business of the 1989 East European Revolutions
Recent developments in Ukraine can be viewed as a third attempt to complete the unfinished business of the 1989 East European revolutions. These revolutions succeeded in Central Europe and the Baltics, but brought mixed results in the Balkans and the former Soviet Republics. Ukraine, Moldova, and Georgia remain the only post-Soviet states defying authoritarian tendencies. Dr. Riabchuk examined what could be done to complete the unfinished business of 1989 and strengthen democratic institutions in these former Soviet states.
