The Maidan Massacre in Ukraine, Ivan Katchanovski

The Maidan Massacre in Ukraine, Ivan Katchanovski The Maidan Massacre in Ukraine by Ivan Katchanovski offers a comprehensive forensic analysis of the February 2014 shootings in Kyiv that killed dozens of protesters and police officers. Drawing on extensive video evidence, testimonies, and legal proceedings, the book challenges mainstream narratives by examining which parties were responsible for the massacre. Using rational choice theory and the concept of state-repression backfire, Katchanovski situates the events within the broader context of Ukraine’s political crisis and the subsequent Russian-Ukrainian war. The study is based on publicly available audiovisual materials in multiple languages, along with hundreds of individual accounts and the verdict of the Ukrainian investigation. This meticulously researched work provides a crucial lens for understanding not only the origins of the current conflict but also the global implications of political violence and information warfare in the 21st century.
