Summary/Abstract: Despite a reduction in the levels of corruption being the key message of the Orange Revolution in late 2004 and the 2014 EuroMaidan Revolution, neither were able to break the pervasive grip of oligarchs on Ukrainian politics. New ideas are needed to break this cycle. In pursuit of its democratisation, perhaps Ukraine should look to its own past rather than the West for inspiration.
