A bit of a departure from the structure of our previous episodes, but an important story nonetheless-- You may recall hearing about some protests in Kiev back in 2014- about Ukrainian anti-government protestors occupying a few city centers and ultimately ousting their previous president in favor of democratic reform. But that's just about where the widespread Western news coverage ended for us here in the US. 

Join us as Will leads the charge, diving deep- very deep- into the backstory of the 2014 EuroMaidan protests in Ukraine and learn why and how the political and social upheaval we've seen over the past 8 years or so has ultimately led to the current conflict we see unfolding now in 2022. 

This is part 1 of our first 2 part series on Ukraine where we explore just how a relatively small group of concerned citizens in Kiev caused such widespread upheaval, a swift change in government, and ultimately Russian interference with the rapidly westernizing nation of Ukraine. 

There's a lot to be said for the will of a nation when they all agree on making a change at the same time, no matter the cost.
