On the 11-12 of June 2013 the conference THE END OF NEOLIBERALISM will  
take place in Kyiv, involving the leading academics from Western and  
Eastern Europe, who conduct research on economic and social aspects of  
globalization. The conference will be held within the international  
initiative Post-Globalization, supported by the Scientific and  
Technological Potential and History of Science Research Center of NAS  
of Ukraine, Confederation of Free Trade Unions of Ukraine, Visual  
Culture Research Center and Center for Society Research,
Will further advancement of “austerity measures” at the backdrop of  
the absence of state regulation of financial capital and actual  
shifting the burden of crisis from oligarchic big business on the  
working class and small and medium businessmen save Ukraine and other  
Eastern European countries? Is the nature of the economic crisis in  
Eastern Europe different than in other regions of the world?
Over the past 25 years Ukraine has remained at about the same level of  
economic and social development. It seems to be unique among other  
countries in its stable cheerlessness. But was the politics of all  
Ukrainian governments of all colors and orientations neoliberal? Post- 
Soviet economics in Ukraine does have its peculiarities, since the  
country has managed to grow several big oligarchs whose ambitions  
expanded even over the Western borders of Ukraine.
