Editor's Notes
- Scale-free social networks maintain the crucial role in sustainability of democratic movement in Ukraine since the establishment of Ukrainian Helsinki Group in 1976.
- How the people became the subject in Ukraine
- Lets recall the evolution of the democratic movement in Ukraine
- Social networks displayed high resilience to Soviet hierarchical repressive institution.
- The networks with a hierarchical organization exhibit a greater vulnerability to failures when compared to non-hierarchical models
- Scale-free social networks were increasingly important in all Ukrainian Maidans.
- Social networks can be presented by graphs and described by formulas, however I am not going into math. Just take a notice of the word „mediation” here.
- Explain the pyramid
- In the context of social movements, the absence of brokers means that networks would break into isolated components, separated by political or social barriers.
