Josh Cohen: Women of the EuroMaidan – where were they then and where are they now
A woman stands in front of photographs of people killed during EuroMaidan revolution at Nebesna Sotnya memorial on Instytutska street in Kyiv two years after EuroMaidan on Feb. 19.
As Kateryna Kruk walked among her fellow protesters in Kyiv’s central square while checking her phone during the early days of the EuroMaidan in December 2013, she noticed an opportunity: Ukrainians shared news of the revolution almost entirely in Ukrainian or Russian. Inspired by the use of social media during the Arab Spring, Kruk started tweeting in English.
