Abstract
Our study is an endeavor of critical feminist analysis of well-known Ukrainian events in the winter of 2013-2014,
called #EuroMaidan protests (further we shall use the shorter title – “Maidan” or "Maidan protests"). We shall also
include some reflections on the war in the Eastern part of Ukraine. We would like to discuss how discourses of
feminism, nationalism, postcolonialism and (post)Sovietness are intersected in the production of meanings within
the Maidan protests and the war that followed.
