Registration REQUIRED by 4pm on February 2, 2026 to attend this event in-person.
Please join the Ukrainian Studies Program at the Harriman Institute for a book talk by Sophia Wilson. Moderated by Mark Andryczyk.
Sophia Wilson will discuss her book, "Maidan: Ukraine's Democratic Revolution" - a carefully researched account of the underbelly of the Ukrainian revolutionary process in the winter of 2013-14. The book investigates how participants self-organized to create the resistance, why the peaceful movement eventually turned to violence, and how the revolutionary process changed those who came to change the country. The Ukrainian state used violence and violations of due process to suppress the resistance, thereby declaring new boundaries in rights relations. Wilson's book shows how the people pushed back in multiple arenas – the protest square, courtrooms, hospitals, churches, and media – to successfully challenge the constitutionality of the state’s actions.
