The student strike, also known as the Revolution on the Granite, was held in the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic from October 2 to October 17, 1990, a few weeks after the adoption of the Declaration of State Sovereignty of Ukraine. To propel regime change, students advanced five demands: (1) the administration of multiparty parliamentary elections no later than spring 1991, (2) the rejection of a union treaty preserving the Soviet Union, (3) the nationalization of the Communist Party property, (4) the return of Ukrainian draftees to the territory of Ukraine, and (5) the resignation of Vitaly Masol, chair of the Council of Ministers of Ukraine. Students set up tents on the granite-covered October Square, later renamed into Independence Square (Maidan Nezalezhnosti) or simply the Maidan, and stayed there until they extracted some concessions from the government. To display solidarity with students, ordinary citizens from all over the country sent telegrams to the striking committee in Kyiv. Based upon the analysis of the spatial distribution of the telegrams, the project finds that ethnicity, language, and region of residence (oblast) are the strongest determinants of mass support for a student hunger strike against the communist government in Soviet Ukraine. Ukrainian-speaking ethnic Ukrainians in the western part of the country displayed greater support for striking students. Opposition to the communist government was also higher in rural areas and oblasts with a higher proportion of the population under 14. These findings have implications for the analysis of more recent anti-government protests in post-communist Ukraine, including the Orange Revolution of 2004 and the EuroMaidan of 2013-2014. More broadly, the results demonstrate the salience of cultural factors in explaining popular opposition to a non-democratic regime.\nData source:\nCollege of Europe.
