  • Kyiv, Ukraine: the City of Domes and Demons from the Collapse Of
    Roman Adrian Roman Cybriwsky Kyiv, Ukraine is a pioneering case study of urban change from socialism to the hard edge of a market economy after the Soviet collapse. It looks in detail at the changing social geography of the city, and on critical problems such as corruption, social inequality, sex tourism, and destruction of historical ambience by greedy developers. The book is based on fieldwork and an insider’s knowledge of the city, and is engagingly written. Roman Adrian Cybriwsky is Professor of Geography and Urban Studies at Temple University in Philadelphia, USA, and former Ukraine Kyiv, Fulbright Scholar at the National University of Kyiv Mohyla Academy. He divides his time between Philadelphia, Kyiv, and Tokyo, about which he has also written books. “Roman Cybriwsky knows this city and its people, speaks their language, feels their frustrations with its opportunist and corrupt post-Soviet public figures Roman Adrian Cybriwsky who have bankrupted this land morally and economically. He has produced a rich urban ethnography stoked by embers of authorial rage.” — John Charles Western, Professor of Geography, Syracuse University, USA “Kyiv, Ukraine is an interdisciplinary tour de force: a scholarly book that is Kyiv, Ukraine also an anthropological and sociological study of Kyivites, a guide to Kyiv and its society, politics, and culture, and a journalistic investigation of the city’s darkest secrets. At this time of crisis in Ukraine, the book is indispensable.” — Alexander Motyl, Professor of Political Science, Rutgers University, USA The City of Domes and Demons “Filled with personal observations by a highly trained and intelligent urbanist, Kyiv, Ukraine is a beautiful and powerful work that reveals from the Collapse of Socialism profound truths about a city we all need to know better.” — Blair A.

N°55 www.inyourpocket.com 2 FOREWORD Following the government’s decision on 21 November, 2013 to stop European Union integration by rejecting an association agreement, a series of mass protests has swept across Ukraine. 2,000 protesters gathered at Maidan Nezalezhnosti and began to organize themselves. A larger rally took place on 24 November, when 100,000 to 200,000 people gathered on Maidan. The pro-EU demonstrators carrying Ukrainian and EU flags chanted “Ukraine is Europe” and sang the national anthem as they marched toward European Square for the rally. On the night of 30 November 2013 at 4a.m. around 300 students and other protesters who remained were brutally attacked by the Berkut - a special police unit - who were armed with batons, stun gre- nades, and tear gas. They dispersed all protesters from Maidan Nezalezhnosti while suppressing mobile phone communications. By 1p.m.another meeting was gathering, with tens of thousands of Kyiv residents coming out to protest against the violence. On 1 December, about 200,000 came to Independence Square (Maidan Nezalezhnosti) to demonstrate for their rights and freedom. Since then, there have been daily demonstra- tions with the protesters committed to continue as long as needed, until their demands are fulfilled. Many foreigners have been drawn to Kyiv’s pro-European rallies in admiration for the spirited people power that has been on display and capturing world headlines.

Unigrafia Helsinki 2020 ii Abstract This dissertation is a study of (post)Euromaidan Ukraine as a socio-political and cultural space which undergoes a multilayered process of struggle over meanings. As a physical and political domain that emerged in a see-saw between Europe and Russia, the Euromaidan revolution was a unified protest that exposed multiple, at times contradictory beliefs: dreams of a just Europe, ultra-nationalist, Far-Right values, demands for prompt democratic transformation, hatred of authoritarian, corrupt government and naming of the ‘enemies’ or the ‘other.’ This research is a critical analysis of the articulation of such socio-political multivocality of the Ukrainian population, which found its physical and discursive expression within the process of post-2013 decommunization.

  • You're Moving to Kyiv!
    You’re Moving to Kyiv! Advice and Information for New PSI Staff Members from Veteran PSI Staff Members Photo: Patricia Puia 1 Introduction Independence Square Photo: Nadine Kitto Welcome to Kyiv, Ukraine! Let’s start with the name of our city and country. You’ll note that the city is spelled both Kyiv and Kyiv. We’ve used the latter here, as it is closest to the Ukrainian spelling. You’ll also notice that the country is Ukraine and not ‘the Ukraine.’ That change happened when the country gained its independence and was no longer just a region of the USSR. After landing in Boryspil Airport, you will first ride through the industrialised left-bank region. You’ll then cross the Dnipro River and reach the right-bank of the city, where streets and buildings exist on a series of hills. The heart of downtown is Independence Square or Maidan Nezalezhnosti (pictured above), with statues, hotels, cafes, and - of course! - a McDonalds. The Square forms part of the city's main street, Khreshchatyk, where you can find the pre- revolutionary food market Besarabskiy Rynok as well as Khreshchatiy Park, which overlooks the Dnipro. Chestnut trees planted in the 1840s line much of the way. Some of the popular downtown regions of Kyiv are Podil, where artisans, artists, and boat builders once mingled and where cafes and restaurants now dot the landscape; Pechersk, an upscale area with tall new apartment buildings and expensive cafes and salons; Lipky, the small, quiet and prestigious neighbourhood near the Parliament; and the area around the university, which probably boasts the most nightlife.
