Abstract

The Ukrainian protests of November–December 2013 owed their success to the relocation of modular repertoires of contention (street protests, sit-ins and barricades) onto Ukrainian soil and their adaptation to local traditions. Particular attention is given to Veche (a gathering of community members) and Sich (a military camp of Cossacks). The communitarian model of institutional transfers is better suited for the Ukrainian case than the entrepreneurial model: the protests were initiated, organized and sustained by ordinary people as opposed to the leaders of the opposition parties. Three mass surveys conducted during the protests and a series of qualitative semi-structured interviews (N = 31) provide data for the analysis.
