Description

The collection “Protests Ukraine Covid: Video Database” is part of a larger and ongoing collection of videos on protest events in the post-Soviet region. It contains a database describing 146 videos of protests between 2020 and early 2022 related to government measures due to Covid-19. We compiled the material in October 2024. All data is processed in an MS Excel database with metadata.
For this kind of collections on protest events we take into account all videos that 1) are event related AND show actions of this event, 2) are fully accessible, 3) we can find with our search words during a particular period. We strictly aim at a systematic and unbiased selection and organized processing of protest-related videos. We identify particular event-related search words or phrases after intense research on the event. According to the snowball principle, we then start the search of videos and try to describe as much relevant content as possible. However, we cannot guarantee the completeness of protest videos on the particular event. We search the videos and include them into the collection until a particular degree of saturation has been reached.
The videos have been posted mainly by the participants of the events. Therefore, the material is only an extract and biased by the perspective of the single creator.
Due to data privacy regulations and copyright restrictions, we are only allowed to give access to the database of the collected video files including the hyperlinks with its metadata and not to the videos themselves. YouTube’s user guidelines do not allow us to store copies of the video collection described above.
