“…These narratives accounts explain how people sustain political protest (see Klandermans 2007, 2013) and the role of political socialization in that process (McLeod and Shah 2009;Petrovic, Van Stekelenburg and Klandermans 2014). In particular, these narrative accounts share much with the work of his colleagues (1997, 2003;Van Stekelenburg and Klandermans 2007) and illustrate the importance of social identity and shared emotion in the interviewees' personal understanding of their engagement in politically motivated violence.…”

Recent years have seen an explosion of protest movements around the world, and academic theories are racing to catch up with them. This series aims to further our understanding of the origins, dealings, decisions, and outcomes of social movements by fostering dialogue among many traditions of thought, across European nations and across continents. All theoretical perspectives are welcome. Books in the series typically combine theory with empirical research, dealing with various types of mobilization, from neighborhood groups to revolutions. We especially welcome work that synthesizes or compares different approaches to social movements, such as cultural and structural traditions, micro-and macro-social, economic and ideal, or qualitative and quantitative. Books in the series will be published in English. One goal is to encourage nonnative speakers to introduce their work to Anglophone audiences. Another is to maximize accessibility: all books will be available in open access within a year after printed publication.

“…The preservation and development of democratic foundations of social life are directly corresponded with a modern trend of strengthening the regulative and controlling functions with the help of ICT from employers and state apparatus. There is avoiding totalitarianism in developing economies and taking into account that individual political behavior of citizens is mostly formed by the past of a person (Petrović, van Stekelenburg and Klandermans 2014).…”

The pandemic-2020 has come quite unexpectedly despite the repeated warnings from WHO. It turned out that the infection’s spread in all countries of the world and the new-how to resist it depends on the ability to mobilize national system of health protection. So, on the quality of the provided medical service, on the accessibility to all levels of the society and on the ability of countries’ governments to provide with proper regulation of social life self-isolation, on-line work and quarantine regimes became the most effective tools in the world. It demanded the appropriate control mostly based on new technological solutions. Remote work and the possibilities of modern technologies to track and identify people may get elaboration after the end of the pandemic-2020. There is a great possibility to lose a part of democratic freedom of society due to using new systems of social life control in order to increase countries functioning effectiveness as the main units of a polycentric model of the world order. It is emphasized that polycentrism should lead neither to the totalitarianism of power nor to the loss of democratization of social life. The government should promote this process by increasing the effectiveness of its activity not substituting it for total control based on ICT.

“…Using data gathered from empirical research on political attitudes in five nations with different levels of democratic development, they determine that there is a connection between perceived ability to participate within the family or at school and a perceived ability to participate in politics. This article challenges this perception through an analysis of the very process of private–public transition during adolescence in post-Soviet societies where ‘not only children but every citizen has to learn to do democracy’ (Petrovic et al, 2014).…”

Freedom’s children in protest movements: Private and public in the socialization of young Russian and Ukrainian activists

This article deals with the problem of political participation and public sphere learning by adolescents during the mass protests in contemporary Russia and Ukraine. Referring to theories of contentious politics and the public sphere in the post-communist world, the author highlights the debate around the relations between private and public in this context: is the value of public participation formed in the private sphere and then translated into a public one? Or rather, is the public realm something opposite to the private? Using in-depth biographical interviews with the adolescents participating in the Bolotnaya and Maidan movements, the author considers this dilemma through the lens of activists’ socialization. The analysis discovers that there is no direct connection between the values of private independence and public freedom during the growing-up process of adolescent activists. The values of private independence appropriated by Russian adolescents do not automatically translate into practices in the public sphere, and, conversely, Ukrainian activists strongly adhere to an ethic of political freedom, but to do it they prefer to break with the values of the private sphere rather than transfer them into politics. To conclude, the author discusses some implications of the analysis of political participation of adolescents on how notions of private and public are composed in Russia and Ukraine.
