The Ukrainian Revolution on Granite began as a student demonstration in early October 1990. It lasted a little over two weeks and directly involved slightly more than 300 people. Unexpectedly, this little-known student hunger strike turned out to be one of the most remarkable events of the late Soviet period. It set a blueprint for the future revolutions in Ukraine.

It seems that one of Viktor Yanukovych’s biggest mistakes was not believing that Ukraine in 2004 and Ukraine in 2013 were two completely different countries. The fundamental difference between them was the role the internet and social media played. Due to social media, the Ukrainian protests of 2013–2014, which were later dubbed the Revolution of Dignity, could begin and be organised in an unprecedented fashion.

The EuroMaidan started in Kyiv on the evening of November21st 2013. Throughout the subsequent weeks it turned into a true revolution – one that changed Ukraine’s political system and its geopolitical vector.

Practically all Armenians stress the need for change. They wish the political processes would become more transparent. The question is: are these desires enough evidence to suggest that a revolution is in the air?

The changes in Russia’s historical policy and the importance given to the past has had a direct impact on Russian education. In any western country education remains a fundamental mechanism for shaping the specific beliefs of its citizens, whereas in countries drawing towards authoritarian rule, like Russia, it has become a perfect tool for indoctrination.

In an age of globalisation, when people are moving more freely and ranging more widely across borders than ever before, the politics of history reflect existential anxieties related to the breakdown of mnemonic rootedness, making the question of whose understanding of the past will be recognised as canonical across multiple contexts increasingly pertinent.

Two memory veins are fuelling certain hostilities between Poland and Ukraine which developed during the post-communist period. They are the Volhynia massacres and the “Vistula” action. Paradoxically, attempts at reconciliation have turned the work of determining who is a victim and who is a victimiser into a competition between victims.

On the 67th parallel, 150 kilometres above the Arctic Circle in the vast space of permafrost where the mercury column rises above zero only 70 days a year, where for 11 days the sun does not rise and for 46 nights it does not set, lies Vorkuta. This city-project was to prove that a Soviet man is able to tame and overcome all of nature’ selements and create something out of nothing.

Nowhere is the interplay between rock music and politics more evident than in the story of Prague’s legendary Plastic People of the Universe. Banned from playing official concerts in the early 1970s and put on trial by Czechoslovakia’s hard-line communist regime in 1976, the Plastic People inspired future president Vaclav Havel to launch Charter 77 which led to the Velvet Revolution of 1989.

The story of Tsar Nicholas II was one of disregard for developments taking place in the outside world. Hence it came as little surprise when the 1917 Revolution brought a tragic end to the 300 year Romanov rule, with the execution of the oblivious former Russian ruler.
