This case calls on students to formulate the position which the democratic opposition movement of the Ukraine (RUKH) should take on the issue of the republic's future relationship to the Soviet Union. It is set at the time of the July 1990 session of the newly elected Supreme Soviet of the republic of Ukraine. The feasibility, desirability, and risks of independence, confederation, and federation are the issues to be considered for the sovereignty declaration which RUKH's leaders want to present. The case permits spirited debate about whether the responsibility for defense, economic policy, ownership of natural resources and environmental policy should remain firmly in the Ukraine's hands.
