Vidsich

The Civic movement «Vidsich» (Ukrainian: Відсіч) is an active Ukrainian nonviolent social movement created in 2010 as a reaction to the policies of then President of Ukraine Victor Yanukovich and his "pro-Russian" tendencies connected with his administration. Vidsich focuses on a proactive defense of human rights, civil liberties and constitutional freedoms. Vidsich unites activists who are convinced that people cannot be neutral with regard to the political and social situation in Ukraine. Vidsich's aim is in creating a strong national movement which can protect the interests of Ukrainians and Ukraine in general.
