On February 2014, Bernard-Henri Lévy delivers a speech on the thronged central square known as the Maidan, occupied around the clock by the people of Kiev. It is the beginning of an ongoing struggle for the hearts and minds of the Ukrainian’s “fellow Europeans.” Despite, or perhaps because of, the defeatists inclined to accept the aggressions of Putin’s Russia, Lévy covers all 450 kilometers of the front line across which the defenders of democracy and of Europe face off against pro-Russian separatists.
