EuroMaidan PR
What is EuroMaidan PR?
EuroMaidan PR is a volunteer initiative that started during the early stages of
Maidan in late 2013. It was established as the information tool of Maidan to ensure a
steady stream of timely, relevant and unbiased information about what was
happening in Ukraine.
TruthVS.
Russian propaganda
There is only one truth. All its variations are a lie.
EuroMaidan PR is completely volunteer run
We are a group of 200+ volunteers from around the world, growing every week.
We are from Ukraine, United States, Russia, Singapore, Spain, United Kingdom, Belarus, France, Canada … And we’re in Kyiv, Kharkiv, Odessa, Poltava, Luhansk, Lviv, St. Petersburg, Minsk,
London, Stockholm, Nice, Ottawa, Toronto, Quebec, Washington, Ohio, Virginia, Manhattan, Indiana, Houston, and many more
other cities around the globe.
The translation initiative consists of fluid and open teams of volunteers who search, translate, edit, proofread and publish.

News search
In searching for news, we strive to stay focused on those areas where we bring real value-added: on news items that have not been reported widely in the
international press and those that are unlikely to be picked up outside Ukraine.
There is literally an endless stream of news that could and perhaps should be disseminated broadly beyond Ukraine, but even though we have a wide group of
volunteers, we need to focus on areas where we can make a real difference - where we have a “competitive advantage” so to speak.
The international press isn’t always going to pick up what is really happening on the ground; it tends to focus on the big picture and the biggest news. Our goal is to
supplement what is already being published outside Ukraine with the details, stories, and personal accounts that bring the current events to life, that dispel
popular misconceptions and propaganda, and that provide an essential context for an understanding of Ukraine.
Translation process
Our translations typically fall into one of three groups: news, analysis or commentary, and personal accounts. We also translate
anything that we believe should be shared with the rest of the world - from YouTube subtitles to Facebook posts to infographics.
If in doubt, post it to our translation page (“Translation Fans Unite”) and ask for feedback.
We have tended to translate, until now, mostly from Ukrainian into English, but with the Crimean crisis, we’ve found it increasingly important to also translate directly from Russian. Our team of
translators and volunteers can cover all bases, and we have experts in various fields, including defense, economics and law, so if it’s
published and important, we’ll do our best to get it done!
