Summary/Abstract: The article introduces the reader to the theoretical and historical framing of the 3R project. Firstly, it takes notice of the fact that in the recent Ukrainian history three important waves of protest happened in the same location: in the Independence Square in Kyiv. Secondly, it outlines the oral history method element in the project presenting the opportunities and possible setbacks of the project’s methodology, thus justifying the decision to follow Michael Frish’s approach of ‘more history’. Finally the authors justify the selection of the three interviews presented in this volume. Most of all, it presents three interviews, with Viktor Yushchenko, Mykola Riabcchuk and Maria Tomak, showing different views on Ukraine’s path towards democratisation.
