Petro Jacyk Program seminar
Description
Situations where seemingly “out of nowhere you have revolution” confuse our analyses. Moments of mass-mobilization such as the Ukrainian “Orange Revolution” may not have been expected by outsiders but did not come out of “nowhere.” Olga Onuch argues that we need to dispel the notion that Ukraine “suffers” from a non-existing civil society and alack of social/civic activism. Dr. Onuch will discuss the contemporary history of social mobilization in Ukraine and its connection to the process behind the making of the moment of mass-mobilization also known as “Orange Revolution.” She will finish off with a brief explanation of why “ordinary” people joined the mass-protest in 2004 and why it can happen again.
