The paper (together with Oleg Zhuravlev) applies the Gramscian concept of hegemony crisis to post-Soviet conditions and discusses the flawed solutions to this problem: Caesarist political regimes and maidan revolutions. Based on the Ukrainian Euromaidan revolution in 2014, we illustrate how deficient maidan revolutions reproduce and exacerbate the hegemony crisis to which they respond.

As of the winter semester 2022/2023, the Centre for East European and International Studies (ZOiS), in cooperation with the Freie Universität Berlin, the Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin and the Europa-Universität Viadrina Frankfurt (Oder), is opening invitations to a new multidisciplinary research colloquium. The colloquium is to serve as a discussion forum for work in progress by PhD candidates, postdocs, and established researchers whose work in the social sciences focuses on Eastern Europe. With this colloquium, the aim is to establish a permanent meeting point in the Berlin-Brandenburg area for those engaged in research on Eastern Europe. The research colloquium will take place online every second Wednesday at 6pm in the months during the semester. We will send the access data shortly before the beginning of each session.

If you wish to participate, please register with Anja Krüger (events(at)zois-berlin(dot)de).
