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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDriven by an urban \"bourgeoisie\" that rejected the hierarchies of industrial society in favor of a postmodern 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 Ukraine's 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis book provides a chronicle of Ukraine's Maidan and Russia's ongoing war, and puts forth an analysis of the Revolution of Dignity from the perspective of a participant observer.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mychailo Wynnyckyj\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3838213009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783838213002\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Ibidem Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/30\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 450\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.70w x 1.20d","brand":"Mychailo Wynnyckyj","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44058999488767,"sku":"9783838213002","price":95.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9e279309-c5cd-45c2-9f2f-7ca3bfbef4ca.jpg?v=1685055663","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/ukraines-maidan-russias-war-mychailo-wynnyckyj-9783838213002","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
