The proposed text involves a generational characterization of the events taking place in Maidan Nezalezhnosti in Kyiv (2013/2014). The author treats the Revolution of Dignity as an important transgressive contribution initiating the post-colonial process of overcoming post-Soviet trauma that has been haunting Ukrainians since their gaining independence in 1991. The generational syndrome becomes fundamental, because generational change is the most effective chance of overcoming the legacy of totalitarian socialism. Thus, Euromaidan may be perceived as a cross-border “nation-building” place of contemporary Ukraine (understood as a post-colonial hybrid).
