Abstract
The research is focused on the influence of modern open collaboration in the field of communication for development of the revolutionary events in Ukraine in 2013-2014. The research shows the role of the information society dynamics coupled with the deteriorating situation of civil and political liberties in creating conditions for social upheavals. The paper analyzes the development of open collaboration tools such as virtual social networks and video streaming services and their role in information support of the revolutionary processes. This study was motivated by the results of one of the previous studies on conditions and factors of revolutionary events in the region of the Middle East and North Africa, which took place in 2010-2011. The research also shows that the deployment of the information revolution on the background of restricting civil and political freedoms plays the crucial role in the initiation of social upheaval unlike previously assumed a negative economic situation as a main reason.
