Generation Euromaidan - Sehnsucht nach Demokratie

Najem, Zalishchuk and Leshchenko worked in the media, and later in the service of civil society. After the 2014 elections, these leading figures of the revolution on Maidan became part of the old structures they are fighting against. They sit in the Ukrainian parliament and are working to change the corrupt system from within. The stories of their political careers mirror Ukraine’s journey towards its own identity, democracy, and geopolitical stability, as the country toes the line between East and West. Both the trio of protagonists and the country have to overcome many obstacles – from personal disagreements to the Russian invasion of Ukraine. The fragility of democracy in war takes on a whole new dimension. (One World)
