On the one hand, the defection of Viktor Yanukovych testified to the protesters’ success at Kyiv’s Maidan Nezalezhnosti. On the other hand, it became a pretext for Russia to illegally annex Crimea and launch military operations in Donbas. The discussion aims to analyze how Ukraine, society, and the attitude of Ukrainians towards Russia and the West have changed over the past 10 years. The events of February 2014 also affect the Central and Eastern European region, including the Visegrad Group countries. Therefore, during our webinar, we want to see if and to what extent the legacy of the Ukrainian Revolution of Dignity resonates along the Vistula, Vltava, and Danube rivers.
