In 2014, the Maydan Revolution in Ukraine installed a new pro-Western government in Kiev. Fearful of the new government, the pro-Russian Donbass region in eastern Ukraine rose up in rebellion. This rebellion initiated the First Donbass War, and the failure of either side to achieve their objectives set the stage for the much larger Second Donbass War in 2022."85 Days in Slavyansk" is the only book written by an organizer of the 2014 rebellion that has been translated into English. It features extensive interviews with participants on both the Russian and Ukrainian sides of the war. The book discusses the centuries old roots of the rebellion, the formation of the Donbass People's Militia, the Donbass independence referendums, the ideological motivations of the fighters, the organization of the militia, and the degree of the Russian government's support for the rebellion. The bulk of the text discusses the siege of Slavyansk from April to July 2014. The siege involved the greatest concentration of fighting in the early months of the rebellion.
