Summary/Abstract: Following the ousting of the Viktor Yanukovych regime many had hoped now was the time to focus on reforms and European integration. Those hopes, however, quickly faded to the background as Ukrainians were forced to fight for their very existence.

As a result, Ukrainian society made another colossal step in its evolution.
