The Maidan with Marci Shore

Yale University professor Marci Shore recently brought out The Ukrainian Night: An Intimate History of Revolution. The book is an attempt to explore an historical event not just through a historiography of the dramatic political developments of winter 2013–2014 in Ukraine but above all through the stories of participants and their motivations. In this way it attempts to tackle in phenomenological terms an essential issue of history study: how countless individual “small” histories become “big” history.
