• This book reveals contradictions between the supposed democratizing mission of the social movements in Russia and Ukraine and their actual conduct and its outcomes. It uses cases studies of the "White Ribbons" movement for fair elections, the Ukrainian Euromaidan (2013-2014), and anti-corruption protests in Russia organized by Alexei Navalny.
