The сivic movement "Vidsich" (Ukrainian: Відсіч, lit. 'Rebuff') is an active Ukrainian nonviolent social movement created in 2010 as a reaction to the policies of then President of Ukraine Victor Yanukovych and the "pro-Russian" tendencies associated with his administration. During his administration, Vidsich focused on protesting against Yanukovych's increasing authoritarianism as well as the policies his government enacted. During Euromaidan, Vidsich became one of the movement's leading groups. As of 2022, Vidsich focuses on protecting human rights, civil liberties and constitutional freedoms. Since the Revolution of Dignity, the movement has also advocated for boycotts of Russian products and the promotion of Ukrainian culture. Vidsich aims to unite activists who are convinced that people cannot be neutral with regard to the political and social situation in Ukraine. Vidsich's aim is in creating a strong national movement which can protect the interests of Ukrainians and Ukraine in general.
