The Lesson of 1917 Partially Learned

Summary/Abstract: This essay reflects on the Ukrainian Revolution of a century past and assesses whether Ukraine and its society have learned from the events of the early 20th century. It analyzes the similarities and differences between the Revolution's failures and the recent fight for Ukrainian statehood, focusing on the roles of volunteers, international support, internal reforms, and citizen engagement. The author argues that while some lessons have been learned (e.g., the importance of international support), significant challenges remain, particularly regarding internal reforms and the need for change within the political and business elite. The essay concludes by acknowledging the emergence of a new generation of engaged citizens but also expresses concern about the potential for emigration.
