Abstract:

The 59-minute long online video (click here) appendix with added English-language subtitles provides a video reconstruction of the Maidan massacre of the protesters and the police on February 20, 2014 in Ukraine. It contains videos of snipers in Maidan-controlled locations and 55 testimonies about such snipers during the massacre itself. This video compilation uses content analysis of the videos and results of forensic examinations and shows that at least the absolute majority of Maidan protesters and the police were shot from Maidan-controlled buildings. The government investigation denies existence of such snipers. 
           
This video appendix is produced from brief synchronized segments of on-site reports by American, Belgian, Belarusian, British, Finish, French, Dutch, German, Polish, Russian, Spanish, and Ukrainian TV correspondents and social media videos by various Maidan protesters. It is a video appendix of papers prepared for presentation at the 2018 Annual Meeting of the American Political Science Association in Boston and the "Regimes and Societies in Conflict: Eastern Europe and Russia since 1956" conference by the Institute for Russian and Eurasian Studies at Uppsala University and the British Association for Slavonic and East European Studies (Katchanovski, 2018a, 2018b). It also supplements previous studies of the Maidan massacre by the author, including previous video appendixes (see Katchanovski, 2015, 2016, 2017)....
