Abstract

In der ukrainischen Erinnerung spielt die Russische Revolution eine untergeordnete Rolle. Stattdessen stehen die revolutionäre Periode und die ukrainischen Staatsbildungsversuche von 1917 bis 1921 im Fokus. In der „Revolution der Würde“ auf dem Majdan 2013/2014 erkennen viele Beobachter Parallelen zu damals. Jeweils geht es um das ukrainische Streben nach Freiheit, nationaler Selbstbestimmung und einen unabhängigen Staat. Andere sehen im Majdan eine nachholende Revolution, die an den antitotalitären Aufbruch von 1989 anschließt. Und für undogmatische Linke hatte die „Revolution der Würde“ das Potential für eine soziale Bewegung im Kampf um soziale Gerechtigkeit und Menschenrechte gegen oligarchischen Kapitalismus und das korrupte politische System in der Ukraine. Die Revolution auf dem Majdan wirft ein neues Licht auf 1917, auf das „sowjetische Jahrhundert“ und auf das Europa von heute. In the Ukrainian collective memory, the Russian Revolution plays a secondary role. Instead, all attention is focussed on the revolutionary period and the attempts at creating a Ukrainian state between 1917 and 1921. Many observers see parallels between that period and the "Revolution of Dignity" on the Maidan in 2013/2014. In both cases, there is a desire for freedom, national self-determination and an independent state. Others regard the Maidan as being a second attempt at revolution that followed on from the anti-totalitarian uprising of 1989. And for undogmatic leftists, the "Revolution of Dignity" had the potential for a social movement in the fight for social justice and human rights against oligarchical capitalism and the corrupt political system in Ukraine. The revolution on the Maidan throws a new light onto 1917, on the "Soviet century", and on Europe as it is today.
