Description
The collection “YTV Protests Ukraine Covid 2020-22” contains 146 videos (mp4) on protests relating to government measures due to Covid-19. We have downloaded all data in October 2024 and made screenshots (pdf) of websites so that the discussion and comments on the single video posts can be followed. All data is processed in an MS Excel database with metadata.
We collect all videos that are 1) event related, 2) show actions of this event, 3) we can find with our search words during a particular period. We strictly aim at a systematic and objective selection and organized storage of protest-related videos. The collection is based on extensive research into Covid-related protest events in Ukraine, which made it possible to identify relevant search words. According to the snowball principle, we then start the collection of videos with the help of these search words and try to download 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. Due to 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.
The videos have been posted mainly by TV channels and news outlets. Therefore, the material is only an extract and biased by the perspective of the single creator/creating institution.
The collection is part of a larger and ongoing collection of videos on protest events in the post-Soviet region.
