Artbecame an individual way to express resistance against Russia, an attempt to find identity anda way to fight against pessimism and hopelessness. It was also wisely used to build the certainimage of the revolution and the protesters. Street art created during the revolution in 2013and 2014 came out with the specific iconography. The article is research on that iconography,and the latter phenomenon in Kiev – the continuation of the revolutionary street art in formof big scale murals.
