Rather than rendering Ukraine a chess piece on the geopolitical board, the rebellion shows that ordinary people, rather than elites, can act as a decisive force. Donbass says something about why large numbers of people make the decision to take part in a collective violent action, when material rewards are low or non-existent, and mortal risks high. It reveals how violent conflicts happen via a surge in politicized identity and involvement of non-state actors. This book places this conflict into the context of conflicts worldwide and demonstrates how ideas and narratives are constructed to provide meaning to a struggle. A new conflict sub-culture, rich with symbolism, narrative, and communications, made this possible in the digital age. The book follows the rebellion's zigzagging fortunes after Moscow did not repeat the Crimea scenario, analyzes the logic of armed struggle and the phenomenon of the Russian spring, and concludes with the peace prospects.

«Poutine est un homme qui au XXIe siècle mène une guerre du XXe pour atteindre des objectifs du XIXe». La polémique est un genre dont je me méfie vivement, et que je pratique avec parcimonie. Je n'ai jamais pensé que le fait d'avoir écrit des livres, d'être considéré, d'une certaine manière, comme une personne publique, donnait le droit d'exprimer ses opinions à tout vent. Mais parfois l'on n'a pas le choix ; parfois, le silence équivaut à la complicité. Lorsqu'un pays en agresse un autre, comme la Russie a agressé l'Ukraine ce 24 février 2022, se taire serait faire le jeu de l'agresseur, serait trahir l'agressé. Cela vaut d'autant plus lorsqu'on a passé des années dans les deux pays, lorsqu'on y a des amis, des deux côtés. Pour les uns, comme pour les autres, il importe de choisir son camp.

"This book examines how, within foreign policy, perceptions are a reflection of an actor's conception of status, credibility and legitimacy assigned to the Self and the Others. Perceptions of the Self and Other and their roles in international relations are also informed by images of superiority, intent and affinity. Perceptions may change over time and under the impact of dramatic events. Chapters explore the perceptions of both sides of EU-Ukraine relations, and propose a new set of concepts to highlight internal and external role incongruences, including: perception gaps, expectations-performance gaps and hope-performance gaps. A differentiation between cognitive, emotive and normative elements of images helps to explain role conflicts. The book further offers a comparison of EU self-images and Ukrainian expectations and perceptions in four areas of external actions of the EU: as an international leader and global and regional power, a partner for Ukraine, a peace mediator and a public diplomacy actor. Scholars and students of international relations, European politics, and EU foreign policy will find this book a useful resource. It will also benefit those studying political communication, as the book considers conceptual metaphor theory in its application to the studies of images and perceptions in international relations and communication about complex political events and actors"--

Depuis une dizaine d’années, l’Ukraine apparaît régulièrement sur le devant de la scène internationale, que ce soit pour ses mouvements protestataires, ou à propos de l’annexion de la Crimée par la Russie et du conflit à l’est du pays, semblant constituer le théâtre d’une nouvelle guerre froide qui cristallise les tensions entre la Russie et les nations occidentales. Les événements récents sont aussi l’occasion de mesurer combien notre connaissance de ce pays est lacunaire, se limitant souvent aux clichés d’une Ukraine berceau de la Russie, terre des cosaques, grenier à blé de l’URSS et d’une suite de gouvernants entachés par une corruption massive. Partant de ces idées reçues, Alexandra Goujon dresse un portrait précis et documenté de cette Ukraine, terre de contrastes
