The revolution in Ukraine was flagged off by the Maidan
demonstrations in Kiev towards the end of 2013. The demonstrations
in support of an expanded European Union, the ouster of President
Yanukovich and the release of the Opposition leader Yulia
Timoshenko initially seemed to have international mandate. The
issue of territorial sovereignty of Crimea following Russian
military intervention raised alarm in global circles. The
referendum about Crimea's acquiescence to Russia was considered to
be questionable. For some Crimean Tatars, a renewed Russian
presence in Crimea was a grim reminder of Soviet collectivization
and deportation. In the immediate aftermath of the Maidan
demonstrations, Soviet memories were revived and post-Soviet
contradictions unfolded. Gradually however, the West's expose of
Russia's intentions in eastern Ukraine tended to be overbearing.
Quite clearly, larger issues were at stake. This volume is the
product of some of these discussions that were initiated by
participants of the symposium Ukraine: Protest and Its Aftermath
organised by Maulana Azad Institute on 27 November 2014. The idea
was to bring to the table a larger spectrum of ideas about Ukraine
as a game-changer in global politics. The question that has been
addressed here is not merely the political impasse in Ukraine and
how Kiev and anti-Kiev forces were pitted against one another or
whether the Maidan protests have a lingering effect in Eurasia. The
purpose is to understand the dynamics of a post-Soviet space.
