description: The world watched horrified as Ukraine descended into political chaos in the winter of 2013-2014, and street fighting broke out in Kyiv between anti-government protesters and legions of riot police.Over three months, the center of a European capital was transformed into a war zone, and striking images of battles between police and protesters were regularly flashed across television screens.Remote from the scene, many people outside the country were left wondering just what was going on in this corrupt, unreformed but up-until-then peaceful former Soviet republic.Adding to the confusion, Kremlin-controlled media in Russia pushed its own, largely false narrative of the causes and possible consequences of Ukraine’s second revolution in a decade.At the center of the action in Kyiv, journalists from Ukraine’s English-language newspaper, the Kyiv Post, help to cut through some of that confusion with award-winning reporting, documenting the unfolding crisis, and later Russia’s covert, hybrid war on Ukraine, in writing and in photographs.Now, two years after those dramatic 93 days of mass public protests in the Ukrainian capital, the Kyiv Post has collected together the memories and impressions of those times from some of those who covered them on the ground, in “Ukraine: Witness to Revolution,” the Kyiv Post’s first e-book.Containing dozens of photographs and links to over 80 minutes of dramatic video, “Ukraine: Witness to Revolution” is the story of Ukraine’s EuroMaidan Revolution, told by those who witnessed it firsthand. Weaving together 15 essays by Kyiv Post journalists, the e-book text gives a concise but detailed history of the events in Kyiv from Nov. 21, 2013 to the opening shots in Russia’s war in eastern Ukraine in mid-April 2014.And as Ukraine gradually disappears from headline news around the world, “Ukraine: Witness to Revolution” also brings readers up to date with the ongoing tasks and challenges facing Ukraine as it continues to battle for full independence from Moscow, while attempting to transform itself into a western-oriented liberal democracy.
