Mapping Mass Mobilization
Through a paired comparison of two moments of mass mobilization, in Ukraine and Argentina, focusing on the role of different actors involved, this text maps out a multi-layered sequence of events leading up to mass mobilization.
The Zelensky Effect
With Russian shells raining on Kyiv and tanks closing in, American forces prepared to evacuate Ukraine's leader. Just three years earlier, his apparent main qualification had been playing a president on TV. But Volodymyr Zelensky reportedly retorted, 'I need ammunition, not a ride.' Ukrainian forces won the battle for Kyiv, ensuring their country's independence even as a longer war began for the southeast. You cannot understand the historic events of 2022 without understanding Zelensky. But the Zelensky effect is less about the man himself than about the civic nation he embodies: what makes Zelensky most extraordinary in war is his very ordinariness as a Ukrainian. The Zelensky Effect explains this paradox, exploring Ukraine's national history to show how its now-iconic president reflects the hopes and frustrations of the country's first 'independence generation'. Interweaving social and political background with compelling episodes from Zelensky's life and career, this is the story of Ukraine told through the journey of one man who has come to symbolize his country.
Mothers and Daughters of the Maidan
The EuroMaidan shocked most observers of Ukrainian politics, not only for its longevity (November 21, 2013-February 22, 2014), but also for its turn to violent repertoires of protest in the later stages. What was at first a peaceful mass protest event which saw nearly equal participation of men and women (Onuch, 2014d; Onuch & Martsenyuk, 2013), turned into what seemed to be a violent and male dominated riot. While much attention has been paid to the brave 'women of the Euromaidan' who also engaged in violent protests (Khromeychuk, 2014; Phillips, 2014), female activists and other protest participants ('ordinary' citizens) have reported a gendered division of labour in the protest zone. Thus, it is still not clear what the role of gender was during the different stages of protest - and if the participation of women was in fact, any different from that of male protest participants. This paper employs original data from rapid interviews and onsite surveys of protest participants, and the authors' in-depth interviews with 48 activists to investigate how violent repertoires and the general militarization of the EuroMaidan protests reproduced patriarchal gender stereotypes.

Three Revolutions: Mobilization and Change in Contemporary Ukraine I
Volume One of Three Revolutions presents the overall research and discussions on topics related to the revolutionary events that have unfolded in Ukraine since 1990. The three revolutions referred to in this project include: the Revolution on Granite (1990); the Orange Revolution (2004–2005); and the Euromaidan Revolution (2013–2014). The project’s overall goal was to determine the extent to which we have the right to use the term “revolution” in relation to these events. Moreover, the research also uncovered the methodological problems associated with this task. Lastly, the project investigated to what extent the three revolutions are connected to each other and to what extent they are detached. Hence, the research in this volume not only discusses the theoretical aspects but also provides new analyses on such issues as religion, memory, and identity in Ukraine.
It's Not About the Economy Stupid
Over the last decade, protest politics have become an increasingly important element of the political environment of most regions in the world: in the EU (Greece), in MENA (in Egypt, and Israel), in EE (in Serbia, Ukraine, Latvia, and Russia), in Latin America (Argentina, Mexico, and Chile), and in North America. Some of these protest events are coordinated and consist mostly of activists, union and opposition participants and others are truly moments of mass-mobilization when âĨOrdinaryâĨœ people, not only join in but also, make up the broad majority of protesters. Analysts have inferred causal implications of economic crises, in the production of both activist protest-events and mass-...
