In 2016, the Kyiv Post published an e-book that looks back on the dramatic events of the winter of 2013–2014, when the nation rose up and drove President Viktor Yanukovych from power.
This e-book, called “Ukraine: Witness to Revolution,” summaries the main events of the revolution, interspersed with the reflections of those who witnessed these historic events for themselves, and is illustrated with images from the Kyiv Post’s award-winning photographers.
The book is available on Amazon in an electronic format.
This unique book was written by a dozen journalists associated with the Kyiv Post.
The book contains more than 50 photos, selected from several thousand images from the Kyiv Post’s EuroMaidan archive, as well as 13 essays from Kyiv Post’s journalists, editors and contributors.
The Kyiv Post covered the 93-day revolution from its unique vantage point only a few blocks from Maidan Nezalezhnosti, Kyiv’s central square and the epicenter of protests. The newspaper’s staff writers and photographers kept up a near-constant presence there during the winter of 2014.
The Kyiv Post’s EuroMaidan and war coverage won us the prestigious 2014 Missouri Honor Medal for Distinguished Service in Journalism — awarded by the Missouri School of Journalism — the world’s oldest journalism school established in 1908.
Some of the Kyiv Post’s journalists who contributed to “Witness to Revolution” were a part of the Yanukovych Leaks project. On Feb. 22, 2014, volunteer divers discovered nearly 200 folders of documents in a lake at the luxurious Mezhyhyria residence of the former president. It was part of an effort by Yanukovych and his entourage to cover up their crimes before escaping the compound and subsequently Ukraine. Kyiv Post’s journalists helped investigators study them and made available to the public.
