Abstract: By using concepts borrowed from the sociology of social movements, this research note analyzes the background of Ukrainian combatants that led them to engagement in the Donbas War. By referring to the concept of career, an analysis can be made of this process while focusing on the meaning that these persons give to their engagement. For many of them, the mobilization at Maidan during the 2013-2014 winter was an episode of bifurcation. Successive ruptures, individually and collectively during this period, gradually made the passage to armed violence conceivable. The concept of a career serves to show that the process of engagement comes out of a succession of choices that take into account the material and affective constraints in these individuals? lives.
