COUP D'ÉTAT VS. REVOLUTION: THE SCOPES OF REGIME CHANGE LEGITIMACY IN UKRAINE
While the world witnesses the outcomes of an uprising in Ukraine, the contrasting political reactions to them become deeper both within the Ukrainian society and internationally. The fact that the interpretation of the Ukrainian events became a cornerstone of international political crisis determines us to look deeper into the different perceptions of the Ukrainian regime change. Namely, it is important to understand how the overthrow of Yanukuvich’s government is being differently interpreted. The process around Ukraine is yet crucially uncertain and the new regime has not provided a considerable account of operation to let us reflect on its nature. However, it is still possible to analyze some of the consequences of the regime change and underline its basic characteristics.
