Khalii I. The process of Transformation in the Modern Crimea

Abstract

The current events in Crimea are the obvious signs of a transition from one political and cultural system to another. The transition does not entail any radical economic changes (i.e. the emergence of a market economy), since the new economy type has already been accepted and partly established in the communities that we are studying. This might prompt a conclusion that this new transition has not been as dramatic as the transition from socialism to capitalism. However, it has still caused the cultural trauma described by Piotr Sztompka. Along with the trauma comes the need for recovery. Thus recovery is our main focus in this study.
