  • During 2014, What Started out As the Euro-Maidan
    No. 3 THE UKRAINIAN WEEKLY SUNDAY, JANUARY 18, 2015 5 2014: THE YEAR IN REVIEW From Euro-Maidan to Revolution of Dignity uring 2014, what started out as the Euro-Maidan was transformed into the Revolution of Dignity. By Dyear’s end, Ukraine had a new president, a new Verkhovna Rada and a new government. And, at the end of the year, the Rada voted to abandon the country’s previ- ous “non-bloc” status and set a course for NATO member- ship. A civilizational choice had been made. As the year began, there was concern about the regular presidential election that was to be held in March 2015 as the opposition – that is the pro-Western parties of Ukraine – appeared to have no unified election strategy other than being against Viktor Yanukovych. Ukrainian Democratic Alliance for Reform (UDAR) Chair Vitali Klitschko was call- ing on his rivals to ditch their campaigns and unite behind his single candidacy. The expected Batkivshchyna candi- date, Arseniy Yatsenyuk, and Svoboda party candidate Oleh Tiahnybok said they would compete independently in the first round of the presidential election. Billionaire confectionary magnate Petro Poroshenko also was plan- ning to throw his hat into the ring. The concern among observers was that so many candidates could cannibalize the pro-Western vote or spread it too thinly, letting anoth- Vladimir Gontar/UNIAN er victory slip through their fingers.

But to truly commemorate the opening of the new Kodak Hall at Eastman Theatre, we figured there was no grander way to celebrate than to invite one of our own, famed soprano Renée Fleming (MM ’83), for a February concert to benefit the new Renée Fleming Endowed Scholarship Fund for Voice and Opera Students.

Renée reminded us from the stage that as she landed in Volume 29, Number 2 Rochester in the middle of a blizzard, she knew she was coming home.
