Ten years ago, the Russian Spring rolled through eastern and southern Ukraine, leading to the reunification of Crimea with Russia. The new government in Kiev, having just taken power through the Euromaidan, decided to crush the pro-Russian protests by force, leading to the War in the Donbass.

Few remember those events in detail - the spring of 2014 is covered in a thick veil of propaganda and mythology. We have scoured long-forgotten blogs, defunct news websites, talked to participants and checked out many other archival sources, all with one goal: reconstructing a detailed chronology of those events — the Spirit of 2014!
