The phenomenon of Yevromaydan is analyzed in the article. The author describes the main axiological conceptions cultural cods and specifics of mental paradigma of acting force of Yevromaydan in the context of the main sociocultural reflection in the modern cultural and historical dimensions ofUkraine.

Patriotic Maidans 2004-2005, 2013-2014 has received broad political, social and cultural resonance. Many singers were on the scene most advanced Maidan (orange, European, tax), less interest has artificial loyal Maidan (eg in Mariinsky Park Kyiv).

Culture Yevromaydanu – this including and protest, shares a boycott of goods and services except for brief comments, lists of brands, media, financial and medical facilities, gas stations, food, outlets respective owners. But Yevromaydanu culture – this culture (which is also the most important) the creation and development of "distributed brightly decorated posters with accurate slogans like "Boycott financiers slaughter","Do not buy – ignore", "penny in obshchak", "You earn – it is stealing".

Yevromaydan became a kind of manifestation of the transformation of cultural and political rights of Ukrainian. Thus a priori cultural characteristics squares beginning of ХХІ century have deep historic constant, codes and origins. Describing the events of 1917-1920, poet P.Tychyna pointed out that in the plaza there is a revolution, and before – on the streets and swore allegiance and got to know important news (read princely letters, hetman universals, etc.). On

And not only imprisoned as a prisoner of conscience, but also the victim of a criminal regime, Tymoshenko has always been sympathy and condolences of millions of Ukrainian people.

Thus, the situation analysis and monitoring even hostile to the national media revolyuiyi indicates to positive Yevromaydana – the desire for democracy, democracy and patriotism (singing the anthem of Ukraine before slicing sandwiches, selfless defense of European integration or attempt to perform the National Anthem massive night January 1, 2014, including and with the intention to enter the Guinness Book of Records), many other examples.

We can not be intimidated. People want to live better, Ukrainian close to European values and ideals, and most importantly – our people want a decent life in a prosperous country with a rich European culture and see no alternative to our bright European future. Based on the foregoing, we note that Yevromaydan 2013-2014 biennium – an important event in the cultural space ofUkraine, which has a significant value and the dominant reflection representative cultural codes, mental constants and deep archetypes. In fact, it is important to note that a rally has become a unique cultural phenomenon of the new times Ukrainian history. People's will not kill and do not stop: Ukrainian – Europeans, Ukraine – center of Europe, our culture – European and Yevromaydan – big win strong spirit Ukrainian and European future of Ukraine.
