Summary/Abstract: Since 2014 Kharkiv has gone back to the old notion of being a city on the geopolitical frontier. Kharkiv finds itself just 40 kilometres from the Russian border and just 200 kilometres from the unstable border with the separatist controlled territory of Donbas, where the truce is still very fragile. Having survived the “Russian spring” it demonstrates a new pro-Ukrainian consensus which emerged in response to the serious threat of internal destabilisation and Russian invasion.
