The Euromaidan revolution of February 2014 is one of the most fascinating political and sociological events in recent European history. Starting as a simple protest over a trade agreement, during its three-month existence the Euromaidan became a physical manifestation of Ukraine's civil society and a self-sustaining avatar of the nation itself, complete with educational programmes, health and welfare services and, eventually, armed forces. In many ways, the most recent comparable phenomenon to the Euromaidan are the revolutionary upheavals in western Europe during the first half of the nineteenth century—which, incidentally, also invited militarized responses from external reactionary powers. Just as the political effects of the Euromaidan have still yet to be fully felt, the revolution itself is still in the process of being understood as a social, cultural, economic and even artistic event by the academic community
