Prospects for Real Reforms After the Euromaidan Victory

Abstract

In early 2014 many opinions on Ukraine’s prospects sounded a highly optimistic note; two years later one can still repeat some but not all of the reasons for optimism, and not as firmly. There is no question that the inadequate pace of change has revealed a less rosy-eyed scene, and some developments since have led to diminished prospects of a quick success for the revolution.

‘So I have come to rescue them from the hand of Egyptians and to bring them up out of that land into a good and spacious land, a land flowing with milk and honey.’

{Exodus, Book 3, Verse 7}
