Talk:PORA

Pora split

Didn't Black Pora and Yellow Pora exist as two separate branches - or even separate organizations - even during the Orange Revolution, although they were cooperating closely under the common name of Pora (sometimes, I believe, with a bit of strain)? / Alarm 21:46, 18 August 2005 (UTC)

Actually, yeah. I think this article is wrong. According to this interview[1] with Dmytro Potehkin from the Ukranian NGO Znayu, Yellow Pora was a copycat organization that Black Pora wasn't very pleased about. You can see that also in the fact that the Poras have separate websites (Black Pora is kuchizm.info).

Potehkin also says that Yellow Pora took funds from Western organizations, something that is echoed by Pavol Demes and Joerg Forbrig in the book 'Revolution in Orange' (though they say it was only $130,000, coming from the Canadian International Development Agency, Freedom House, and the German Marshall Fund of the United States).

Also, there was a lot of Western funding for related groups (Graeme Herd wrote an interesting article about these issues, called "Colorful Revolutions and the CIS: 'Manufactured' or 'Managed' Democracy?").

This article could use some work, but I wish a Ukrainian speaker wanted to take it on. Katsam 03:14, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

Article name: PORA or Pora?

I don't understand why the name is capitalized. It's not an acronym and searching on google scholar I can see that most English reliable sources call it Pora ("It's time) and refer to it as a youth movement (e.g. Olena Nikolayenko, in Comparative politics, Vol. 39, No. 2 (Jan., 2007), pp. 169-188), and various others). Notable (but isolated) exception: A Polese - Journal of communist studies and transition politics, 2009: the civic campaign 'PORA' (It's time). RS usually don't use the exclamation mark. Shall we move the page to Pora (Ukrainian youth movement)? And shall we move PORA (Russian youth group) to Pora (Russian youth group)? Gitz (talk) (contribs) 20:05, 1 December 2022 (UTC)
