In Ukraine. the idea of democratic nationalism. that is nationalism that promotes the inclusion of minorities rather than their exclusion. is what motivates the reform movement. All of this. along with the continued push for democratization by Rukh. has helped to spur a Jewish revival in Ukraine. While many Jews are eager to take advantage of relaxed Ukrainian emigration laws. others are choosing to remain and breathe new life into Jewish communities across the nation. Recognizing that this is a golden opportunity. one which Jews throughout Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union have been waiting decades for. outgrowths of Jewish culture are appearing across Ukraine. In Kiev alone. two Jewish newspapers. a Jewish library. a Jewish theater. a Jewish choir. an Israeli video library. and a Jewish elementary school have all developed over the course of the past 4 years.
