Summary/Abstract: The experiment of post-Maidan Ukraine lacks a long-term vision of reform, even if this has become the new benchmark to judge political legitimacy. Europe hardly has a long-term vision for Ukraine either, especially as the appetite for both enlargement and demanding, messy democratic experiments abroad is scarce. To compound the matter, as one Ukrainian intellectual noted, the country joined the West just when it entered decadence.
