The theoretical background of this article brings us to the sociology of the military, gender in organizations, and feminist perspectives of women’s participation in the armed forces. Fieldwork to study women’s participation in the ATO (summer-autumn 2015) was conducted using 42 in-depth semi-structured interviews with women (aged 20-47) who are, or were in the ATO.Item Successes and challenges of ATO/JFO veterans’ involvement in the public and political life of Ukraine(2022) Martsenyuk, Tamara; Kvit, AnnaThis article presents qualitative results of a large sociological study "Involvement of veterans in the public and political life: from military victories to personal engagements" (2019). 22 in-depth interviews with ATO/JFO veterans, 20 expert interviews, and 4 focus groups in Kyiv, Zhytomyr, Chernivtsi, and Kramatorsk were analyzed to explain legal aspects of veterans’ situation, to characterize ATO/JFO veteran organizations and conceptualize motivation of veterans to engage in public and political activity. Possibilities for veterans to return to a peaceful life after the war in Donbas are defined through political, employment, education, and creative opportunities in Ukraine. Internal and external challenges of the veteran movement activities are identified.Item Women and Military in Ukraine: Voices of the Invisible Battalion(2017) Martsenyuk, Tamara; Grytsenko, GannaThis article presents the results of sociological research that has a metaphorical title, “Invisible Battalion”, and demonstrates that women in the armed forces and in volunteer battalions were not given equal to their male colleagues treatment; their contributions were rarely recognized. The study was conducted in the summer and autumn of 2015. Forty-two interviews were taken with women (aged 20-47) and nine with men who were or are participating in the so-called Anti-Terrorist Operation (ATO) in the East of Ukraine. Women in the Ukrainian military face gender segregation problems, both vertical and horizontal ones. The state regulates work conditions of military women via paternalist (protective) approach.
