Motyl: Kyiv’s raiders and monsters
If you’d like to understand the wrenching changes Ukraine’s capital city is currently undergoing, watch for a forthcoming book by Professor Roman Cybriwsky, provisionally titled City of Domes and Demons: Kyiv, Ukraine in Difficult Transition after Socialism. Cybriwsky is an urbanist and former chair of Temple University’s Department of Geography and Urban Studies, former director of Asian Studies, and former associate dean at Temple’s Japan Campus. He has written extensively about New York, Tokyo, Jakarta, Philadelphia, and Phnom Penh and obviously knows his cities.
