  • Neonazis & Euromaidan
    Stanislav Byshok Alexey Kochetkov NEONAZIS & EUROMAIDAN From democracy to dictatorship [Second edition] 2014 Stanislav Byshok, Alexey Kochetkov NEONAZIS & EUROMAIDAN. From democracy to dictator- ship. [Second edi on]. “Whoever is not jumping is a Moskal” is a chant that women and men of diff erent ages who took to Kiev Independence Square in win- ter 2013-2014 repeated trying to get warm. They kept jumping and laughing, for nobody in the ‘brave new world’ of the Ukrainian revo- lu on under Stepan Bandera’s banner fancied gaining the character of a staunch enemy of Ukrainian statehood. Mass demonstra ons of “angry ci zens” in Ukraine had objec ve reasons. This was a protest against ineff ec ve and corrupt govern- ment, against police and bureaucra c abuse of power, against unclear and dead-end policies of the President and the Government. All na onal libera on movements use the popular ideas and po- li cal sen ments that dominate the society as their posi ve mani- festo. Thus, exclusively le -wing ideologies were mainstream in the Russian Empire in 1917, radical Islamism was most popular in Arab countries during the Arab spring of 2012, whereas na onalism, also radical, turned mainstream in the Ukraine of 2013-2014. The book describes the development of Ukraine’s na onal- ist groups since 1991 un l present day. It focuses on the history of the parliamentary right-wing radical Svoboda party and the non- parliamentary Right Sector movement. The authors study the ideol- ogy, psychology and methods of poli cal struggle of these structures.

De Boelelaan 1105, 1081HV Amsterdam; The Netherlands *Corresponding author. Email: [email protected] This paper investigates whether and how patronage networks affect the progress of socio-political reforms at the local level in Ukraine. It contributes in three ways to the study of networks and transitions of socio-political orders: first, it provides rich empirical study using primary (interview) and secondary data; second, it focuses on the local rather than national level and analyses three understudied cases of networks (Kharkiv, Mykolaiv, and Ivano-Frankivsk); third, theoretically it relates the studies of patronage networks in post-communist setting to a broader framework of limited access orders. Our findings show that although multiplicity of networks might be a necessary condition for the opening of access to political and economic resources, it is not a sufficient one. Also, the presence of multiple networks is not necessary for high level of citizen satisfaction with public goods provision—a single dominant network might achieve a relatively high level of citizen satisfaction too. Keywords: local networks; Ukraine; patronage; limited access orders; satisfaction with public goods provision 1 1. Introduction Social networks are ubiquitous in social, economic, and political life (Collier 2016, 10).

  • Competing Nationalisms, Euromaidan, and the Russian-Ukrainian Conflict
    bs_bs_banner Studies in Ethnicity and Nationalism: Vol. 15, No. 1, 2015 Competing Nationalisms, Euromaidan, and the Russian-Ukrainian Conflict Taras Kuzio* Senior Research Associate, Canadian Institute for Ukrainian Studies, University of Alberta Senior Research Fellow, Chair of Ukrainian Studies, University of Toronto Non-Resident Fellow, Center for Transatlantic Relations, School of Advanced International Studies, Johns Hopkins University Introduction Although Ukraine is a regionally diverse country, it had succeeded in peacefully managing inter-ethnic and linguistic tension between competing nationalisms and identities. However, the rise of the openly pro-Russian Party of Regions political machine after the Orange Revolution, whose leader came to power in 2010, and the evolution of Vladimir Putin’s regime from proponent of statist to ethnic national- ism, heightened Ukrainian inter-regional and inter-state conflict. Viktor Yanukovych’s policies provoked popular protests that became the Euromaidan. His unwillingness to compromise and his fear of leaving office led to violence and the breakdown of state structures, opening the way for Russia’s interventions in the Crimea and Eastern Ukraine. This article investigates the sources for the violence during and after the Euromaidan and Russia’s interventions. It argues that domes- tic and foreign factors served to change the dynamics of Russian speakers in Ukraine from one of passivity in the late 1980s through to the 2004 Orange Revolution; low-level mobilization from 2005 to 2013; and high-level
