Orange Revolution

war orange revolution kjev The Orange Revolution was the largest protest movement in Europe since the end of the Cold War.

My second talk was to an EU-funded conference in Halle, south of Berlin, on “Protest Movements in Europe Since the Cold War”. I told stunned Germans that the Orange Revolution, which 1 in 5 Ukrainians took part in, qualifies it as the largest protest movement in Europe since the end of the Cold War. They were stunned because Germans know little about Ukraine and are nearly completely focused on Russia. This is very different to Austria which I visited in June.
