The second part of this multivolume project assembles a series of recollections and debates on the Ukrainian revolutions of 1990, 2004, and 2013–2014. After an introduction to the methodology of oral history, it presents twenty interviews with participants and eyewitnesses of the events in Ukraine, and documents a series of workshop discussions conducted at a symposium held in 2017. In these workshops, activists and observers of each of the three revolutions exchanged and compared their memories, analyses, and evaluations. This volume thus not only provides a comprehensive collection of firsthand accounts of the three historic Ukrainian upheavals, but also reveals the interrelations between them.

The volume documents assessments from Barbara Krauz-Mozer, Markiyan Ivashchyshyn, Natalia Klymovska, Vakhtang Kipiani, Mykola Kniazhycki, Natalyia Zubar, Yulia Tymoshenko, Aleksander Kwaśniewski, Viktor Taran, Markiyan Matsekh, Yulia Tychkivska, Leonid Findberg, Yulia Mostova, Oksana Zabuzhko, Eduard Drach, Michailo Cherenkoff, Andriy Dudchenko, Oleg Mahdych, Rebecca Harms, Herman van Rumpoy, and Jacek Saryusz-Wolski.

This extraordinary project provides a comprehensive picture of the Granite, Orange, and Euromaidan Revolutions of Dignity in Ukraine, a series of fearless and sometimes tragic upheavals by a society striving for democratically guaranteed existence unimpeded by oligarchic corruption, economic well-being, and freedom from a threat of reconquest by an unforgiving former imperial overlord. Former participants and eyewitnesses, the world’s most renowned experts, and a host of talented younger scholars offer a treasure trove of original, gripping first-hand accounts; detailed historical reconstructions; empirically rich and illuminating interpretations; and theoretically savvy analyses. No dimension of these history-defining events remains unexamined. It is indispensable reading for everybody interested in revolutions and what has come to be known as the fourth wave of democratization in the post-communist world and beyond.
