    Long entretien très instructif sur la politique ukrainienne depuis 2014.

    When he was elected in 2014, Poroshenko wasn’t seen as a representative of the radical wing of #Euromaidan. But he was operating in the context of the new nexus of post-Maidan forces, in which, as I’ve said elsewhere, the interaction of oligarchic pluralism with a civil society that lacked institutionalized political or ideological boundaries between the West-backed NGOs and the far right, combined with the practically absent left wing, led to a process of nationalist radicalization. The competing oligarchs exploited nationalism in order to cover the absence of ‘revolutionary’ transformations after the Euromaidan, while those in nationalist-neoliberal civil society were pushing for their unpopular agendas thanks to increased leverage against the weakened state.
