In early 2014, sparked by an assault by their government on
peaceful students, Ukrainians rose up against a deeply corrupt,
Moscow-backed regime. Initially demonstrating under the banner of
EU integration, the Maidan protesters proclaimed their right to a
dignified existence; they learned to organize, to act collectively,
to become a civil society. Most prominently, they established a new
Ukrainian identity: territorial, inclusive, and present-focused
with powerful mobilizing symbols. Driven by an urban bourgeoisie
that rejected the hierarchies of industrial society in favor of a
post-modern heterarchy, a previously passive post-Soviet country
experienced a profound social revolution that generated new senses:
Dignity and fairness became rallying cries for millions. Europe as
the symbolic target of political aspiration gradually faded, but
the impact (including on Europe) of Ukraines revolution remained.
When Russia invaded -- illegally annexing Crimea and then feeding
continuous military conflict in the Donbas -- Ukrainians responded
with a massive volunteer effort and touching patriotism. In the
process, they transformed their country, the region, and indeed the
world. This book provides a chronicle of Ukraines Maidan and
Russias ongoing war, and puts forth an analysis of the Revolution
of Dignity from the perspective of a participant observer.
