379. Marci Shore - What is worth dying for? Maidan Showed what Ukrainians are Ready to Risk for Freedom.

Marci Shore asks the vital question:

What is worth dying for? While the world watched the uprising on the
Maidan as an episode in geopolitics, those in Ukraine during the
extraordinary winter of 2013–14 lived the revolution as an existential
transformation: the blurring of night and day, the loss of a sense of
time, the sudden disappearance of fear, the imperative to make choices.
The Maidan was an illumination of the human capacity for natality, the
ability to act, to begin anew at this moment. It was the turning point
without which Ukrainian resistance to the full-scale Russian invasion
cannot be understood.
