About This Book
A diplomatic memorandum addressed to the U.S. government requests formal recognition of an independent Ukrainian republic, laying out political and economic arguments. It argues that Ukrainians constitute a distinct people with a separate language, culture, and long-standing occupation of their lands, and traces political development from a medieval state centered at Kiev through later foreign domination and partitions. The paper recounts attempts to secure autonomy via agreements with neighboring powers and alleges breaches that prompted repeated uprisings. It urges the establishment of a constitutional democratic republic, consolidation of Ukrainian territories, and international recognition to secure economic self-determination and prevent foreign exploitation.
