Abstract

This article focuses on the revolution in Ukraine and the efforts of young people in support of the uprising. In Kiev's wired world of the Orange Revolution, there's Ukraine's darling--Ruslana, the one-named singing sensation who won the 2004 Euro Idol competition. She's appeared onstage with opposition leader Viktor Yushchenko, and dropped in on Tent City, the student squatters' camp in the middle of Khreshchatyk Street in the downtown core. Ruslana was what the Orange Revolution and the momentarily sagging Yushchenko forces needed. Radio Kiev set up a tent outside the mayor's office, in front of Tent City. What success this peaceful revolution has had so far is in measure due to people like Vasyl Boychuk, the 38-year-old "commandant" of a student camp hunkered down in a park next to the Rada.
