Euromaidan. Ukraine's Dignity Revolution of 2013-2014
Serzh Shevchenko Excerpt from the brochure "Ukraine in 2014. Challenges and trials. The experience of overcoming post-imperial colonisation At first, the events on the Maidan in the winter of 2013 seemed like a political manipulation of the opposition parliamentary parties in the run-up to the elections, as has often happened in Ukraine. The leaders and organisers of the protests were well-known politicians from the Impact, Solidarity and Fatherland parties: Volodymyr Klitschko, Arseniy Yatseniuk, Yulia Tymoshenko and Petro Poroshenko.

When there are no more tears and no more humanity
Every year, on a certain day, a part of Lithuania puts forget-me-nots in their lapels, believing that they have not forgotten something, while others stuff them in their lapels, believing that forget-me-nots are not needed. It is a pity that there is no such day to remind everyone of what you have long forgotten. Forgotten what used to make you give every second bite to those who need it most, in kindness.So what [...]

Colloborants

Cars [...]
Convoy to the East

We set off for Ukraine from Kaunas - 11 cars, 16 people, having received the blessing of the priest of the Basilica of the Resurrection of Christ and a blessed rosary. I am not very religious, but I accept everything with respect. The [...]
