No. 17: Protests, Resistance, Activism
Issue 17 of the Ukrainian Analytical Digest deals with the topics of protests, activism and resistance. Hatsko et al. analyze the nationwide protests in the summer of 2025 against the weakening of anti-corruption institutions. Heiko Pleines discusses new opinion polls that evaluate the protests on the Maidan in 2013/14 from today's perspective. Susann Worschech and Yuriy Matsiyevsky highlight the many facets of Ukrainian resistance in territories occupied by Russia, and Oleksandra Kokhan takes a look at architectural preservation activism in the historical center of Kyiv.
No. 16: Journalists, Social Media and News Consumption
This issue covers journalistic and social media in Ukraine. The first two contributions deal with journalists, examining the state of journalists’ safety in Ukraine during wartime, drawing on survey data from the Worlds of Journalism Study, and assessing how the security sensitivities during wartime influence the practice of “patriotic journalism”. The following two contributions look at social media. One describes the role of Telegram in Ukraine’s wartime information ecosystem, the other analyses the changes in narratives which are spread by pro-Russian Telegram channels in Ukraine following the full-scale invasion. The issue also includes public survey data about media use.
