Maidan

The principles of Maidan: an environment with a networked structure

Maidan's environment is formed by people of different age and gender, ideology and religion, members of different parties and not affiliated with any of them. These people do praise the values of democracy and open civil society, dismiss the extremist ideologies, racial and national hatred and xenophobia. Most of them are not planning any political career for themselves.

“Maidan” uses theoretical background of resistance movements outlined by Gene Sharp, Polish "Solidarnost" union, Serbian "Otpor" movement, Belorussian movement ZUBR and the heritage of Ukrainian Anti-Communist movement for Independence before 1991.
