Ukraine, Euromaidan, protests, Revolution of Dignity, Supreme Council of UkraineAbstract
The purpose of the article is to analyze the main assumptions of the so-called dictatorial acts passed by the Supreme Council of Ukraine on January 16, 2014, their socio-political consequences, as well as the impact on the further course of Euromaidan. The article presents the main assumptions of the acts of January 16, 2014, which the then authorities enacted in order to extinguish Euromaidan. These acts were contrary to the Constitution of Ukraine. Through them the rulers introduced in the state the principles of an authoritarian regime following the model of the Russian Federation. The socio-political consequences of these acts are also discussed. To achieve the research objective and verify the hypothesis, the following methods were used: historical, systemic, institutional-legal, and case study.
