Perhaps 20 years later, the events experienced by Ukraine in 2014-2016 will be perceived not as a series of trials, but as the beginning of a new era. One of the key figures of this period - the head of the Presidential Administration of Ukraine Boris Lozhkin talks in this book about how the new Ukrainian state was built, free from the legacy of Soviet power and the rule of oligarchs. "The Fourth Republic" is a book about the return of Ukraine to the European family of peoples, about what has already been done, and about what will have to be done.
