      abstract = {This book provides an up-to-date discussion of the effect  of crises on European identities in the post-Soviet states.  In doing so, the book presents an original study on  dynamics of European identities during four crises in  Georgia and Ukraine. More specifically, it considers the  comparative impact of two colour revolutions and wars  involving Russia on European identity constructions in  Georgian and Ukrainian public identity discourses, studied  through national mass media. It compares outcomes of change  and continuity during such "big bang" events in identity  discourses and establishes scope conditions that allow or  inhibit change. The major finding of the study is that the  selected events can indeed instigate sudden shifts in  European identity discourses but only when the elite power  structure also changes in such hybrid regimes, as Ukraine  and Georgia. These changes include shifts in elite groups  and in the relative power they hold in the overall power  structure.
