Within societies at war, the source of social change is not confined to the front lines of battle or the political leadership, nor are the sole effects of warfare the violent loss of life and political upheaval. War also leads to shifts in social relations and narratives through processes driven by civilian actors. In this dissertation, I examine how social life was transformed during war through the case of civilian volunteering in the Donbas conflict by drawing upon feminist scholarship on war, the sociology of gender, postsocialist studies, and the sociological literature on volunteering. This study is grounded in qualitative research conducted in Kyiv, Ukraine from September 2015 through June 2016, including eighty-two semi-structured interviews with volunteers, participant observation in volunteer networks, and secondary data derived from social media, news organizations, and government releases. My research expands what it means to study wartime change by bringing civilians’ lives and experiences into the center of such research. As volunteering entered the forefront of social life in Ukraine, it became a site for reimagining state-society relations alongside ideals of civic engagement and state care. I argue that the hybrid discourses of volunteers reflected a combination of neoliberal concepts and socialist demands that were characteristic of a borderlands, where multiple cross-cutting discourses are negotiated by local actors. The central role of volunteers within the war effort in Ukraine also brought visibility and status to the contributions of women, who are often invisible or constructed as secondary within wartime narratives. In effect, volunteering marked a space of gendered change during the Donbas conflict. I argue that women’s volunteering both challenged and reinforced hierarchical gender structures while creating a societal space for experiencing human connection amidst conflict. My research contributes to the global study of gender and war by investigating paths towards transforming gender hierarchies. I further work to shift the feminist focus to the local realities of wartime actors, and not just questions of women’s empowerment.

Master thesis. Charles University, Faculty of Social Sciences, Institute of Security Studies. Mgr. Tomáš Kučera, Ph.D. Abstract Hybrid warfare has achieved notoriety of being a buzzword attempting to explain the changes in the modern warfare that blur the lines between war and peace, conventional and irregular warfare. Despite its definitional shortcomings, it made its way into the official discourse of the politicians commenting on the conflict in Ukraine and Russia's involvement in it, which did not add clarity. This thesis aims to bring a Ukrainian perspective to the discussion, and it attempts to provide a deep interpretation of sufficiently...

The Ukrainian labor migration to Germany is currently a very present topic, as it is gaining more and more relevance. Statistical data show significant increases for Ukrainian workforces employed in Germany in the recent years, and further increases are expected. This bachelor thesis examines the backgrounds and framework conditions of Ukrainian labor migration to Germany, places it in context with other destination countries, and investigates the effects on the national economy and wage levels. Besides of that, different expressions of Ukrainian labor migration are presented and commodity trade relations between Ukraine and Germany are discussed. Most importantly, the thesis explores the macroeconomic causes of labor market changes and attempts to forecast, with the help of well-known theoretical models, what developments could be expected resulted by Ukrainian labor migration. Formulated hypotheses are attempted to be confirmed in an empirical analysis. For this purpose, statistical data such as average and minimum wages, migration figures, labor productivities and capital intensities were compared. The results indicate an influence of migration on growing wage levels in the Ukraine. In turn, the reduction of the available force also inhibits the labor productivity. The differentiated factor endowments ensures that Ukrainian workers are more likely to find themselves in labor-intensive economic sectors in Germany. Migration numbers are expected to increase even more if wage differentials remain at such a high level. Since the data situation is still relatively incomplete, especially with regard to the Ukrainian side, it will hopefully improve in the future and more in-depth studies to this topic will be possible.:1.

This research explores the process of integration of IDPs into the host communities in Ukraine from Communication for Development perspective. It aims to examine integration process in the context of representation and participatory communication theories. The objectives of this research are threefold. Firstly, it explores the concept of “successful” or finalized integration. Secondly, it investigates existing stereotypes and myths about IDPs in Ukrainian society through the lens of representation theory. Thirdly, it examines promising participatory communication projects in Ukraine aimed at countering these stereotypes. The research is based on semi-structured interviews with IDPs, representatives of host communities, employees of international development organizations and NGO, producer of TV-show and the author of the performance about IDPs. The research finds that establishment of social contacts and engagement into the life of the new community is key to successful integration and that stereotyped perception of IDPs in Ukrainian society comes not from interpersonal experience, but from media and political context and more participatory communication projects are needed for countering it.

The 2013–2014 Revolution of Dignity in the capital city of Kyiv was an overwhelming popular demonstration of the Ukrainian public’s desire for a western-oriented, democratic, and European future for Ukraine and its rejection of the Russian-oriented loyalties that have troubled the country since gaining independence in 1991. The western choice embodied by the revolution—which resulted in violent deaths, countless injuries, and the overthrow of the corrupt presidential regime—lingers in the form of memorials that serve not only as reminders of the violence, but as evidence of the continued affirmation of this choice. I argue that the sociological construction of the revolutionary Heavenly Hundred Heroes and the participatory commemorative practices dedicated to such demonstrate how memorialization can foster the transition away from the corrupt authoritarian past toward a democratic future through the promotion of civic engagement. I employ the perspective of memorialization paired with a post-colonial framework to explain how the revolution is remembered by the Ukrainian public, analyzing the key interactions between civic identity formation, hybridity, memory, sites of conscience, and transitional justice to demonstrate how commemoration strengthens the culture of democracy. The examination of three different types of memorialization—grassroots, official, and the site of conscience—demonstrates the different ways in which memorials serve as sites of discourse and engagement for Ukrainian society. The ongoing attempts at the reforms promoting transitional justice demonstrate that memorialization of the revolution, in strengthening the culture of civic engagement, helps promote democracy. In Ukraine, civic engagement fostered by memorials positions them as crucial components of transitional, post-colonial spaces. / Graduate
