Contents
Translating out of Cyrillic always poses challenges. I have chosen to transliterate names as they are pronounced, and have also ignored the diacritical soft and hard signs found in the original. The only exceptions are names that have acquired common forms in English for example, I use the spelling Gorbachev rather than the phonetically correct Gorbachov. I also accept local practice, so what used to be called Kiev is rendered as Kyiv, but the names of Russian-speaking Ukrainians in the rebel Donbas region are given Russian-style.
In addition, the maps show Crimea as part of Russia purely to illustrate Russian military placements, not in any way to imply an acknowledgement of Moscows claims to the region.
