Ukraine: Stability and Instability

JOHN JAWORSKY

McNair Paper 42

August 1995


A popular Government,

without popular information or the means of acquiring it,

is but a Prologue to a Farce or a Tragedy; or perhaps both.

Knowledge will forever govern ignorance;

And a people who mean to be their own Governors,

must arm themselves with the power which knowledge gives.

JAMES MADISON to W. T. BARRY

August 4, 1822
