  • 1.1. ENG Fedorenko Two Movements.Docx
    ІДЕОЛОГІЯ І ПОЛІТИКА ИДЕОЛОГИЯ И ПОЛИТИКА IDEOLOGY AND POLITICS THE TWO MOVEMENTS: LIBERALS AND NATIONALISTS DURING EUROMAIDAN Kostiantyn Fedorenko Abstract. This article offers a hypothesis that two separate yet cooperating movements, liberal and nationalist, participated in the Ukrainian protests of late 2013 – early 2014. To test this hypothesis, we define that a protest movement has its own leaders, purpose and ideology, perception of the current situation and the opponents of the movement, and tactics of action. It is found out that these factors were different for liberals and nationalists participating in the protests. The offered “two-movement approach” allows avoiding false generalizations about the protesters participating in these events, while increasing our explanatory capability. Keywords: Ukraine, Euromaidan, social movements, protest, Ukrainian nationalism, two-movement approach Introduction The winter events in Ukraine had attracted worldwide attention and international compassion towards the protesters. However, the later events in Crimea and Eastern Ukraine overshadowed the popular protests in Kyiv, as scholars directed their attention to the most recent and worrisome developments. Yet we maintain that a better understanding of the winter events, labeled “Revolution of Dignity” by the Ukrainian media (Kyiv Post 2014), is necessary in order to explain the forthcoming events – including annexation of Crimea and civil conflicts in Eastern Ukraine – as well as to be capable of making knowledgeable prognoses for the events that are yet to come in the region. As will be shown in the next sections, some speakers attempted to extend either liberal or nationalist logic of thinking to the protesters in general, either stating that they championed for their individual rights or describing them as “nationalist” and “Banderite”.

The article analyzes the sources of the failure since the Euromaidan Revolution of Dignity to reform the rule of law, reduce high-level corruption, and apply justice to Yanukovych and his entourage for massive corruption that bankrupted Ukraine, murder of protestors, and treason. Introduction What the fuck are you doing? Getting ready, right. You are meeting with politicians, not with gangsters! Aren’t they the same thing, boss? (Drug trafficker Pablo Escobar talking to his henchmen1) The origins of Ukraine’s Revolution of Dignity, or what is more commonly known as the Euromaidan revolution,2 and how it culminated in repression, violence, and murder are well known.3 Pre-term elections, rather than removing President Viktor Yanukovych, were the goal of the revolution; his fleeing from Kyiv was unexpected.

  • Six Years on from Malaysia Airlines MH17 Destruction: a Clear Lack of Evidence That Moscow Was Behind It
    Six Years on from Malaysia Airlines MH17 Destruction: A Clear Lack of Evidence that Moscow Was Behind It By Shane Quinn Region: Europe, Russia and FSU, USA Global Research, July 29, 2021 Theme: History, Law and Justice, Media Disinformation In-depth Report: UKRAINE REPORT All Global Research articles can be read in 51 languages by activating the “Translate Website” drop down menu on the top banner of our home page (Desktop version). Visit and follow us on Instagram at @crg_globalresearch. *** This was first posted on GR in July 2020. Six years ago, on 17 July 2014, Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 (MH17) was shot down approximately 30 miles from the Ukrainian-Russian border, while fighting raged below between Western-supported groups and Moscow-backed separatists. During late afternoon local time 298 people, including crew members, lost their lives when the scheduled passenger aircraft was blown out of the sky. In the following time, some of the dead were found scattered in the surrounding sunflower fields. Many reports later emanated from Western media, without necessary supporting evidence, claiming that “Russian-sponsored militants” were responsible for firing a Buk surface-to-air missile at the plane. Buk missile systems are in fact under possession of both Moscow and Kiev. Almost 200 of those killed were of Dutch nationality – with the aircraft itself, a 64 metre long Boeing 777-200ER, having intended to reach Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia’s capital, after departing Amsterdam about three hours before. Also among the dead were dozens of Malaysians and Australians, along with smaller numbers of deceased from Indonesia, Britain, Germany, etc.
