Abstrak	The discourse of terrorism is one of the most powerful political discourses of our times. More often than not, its labels and assumptions including the division of the world into sharp dichotomies of free and civilized states vs. evil and barbarian terrorists go unquestioned in related political speeches, media reports, and public deliberation. These unquestioned assumptions, however, become problematic when the signifier terrorism is used to depict an armed struggle of ethno-nationalistic groups for independent self-governance. This is because struggle against terrorism justifies a completely different arsenal of response strategies, which might lack legitimacy when countering separatism. This problem becomes apparent when states respond to separatism by manipulating the fear of terrorism to justify undemocratic actions in the name of national security. Using as a case study the post-Maidan confrontation in the East of Ukraine and analyzing related coverage by three political websites, this paper discusses how the discourse of terrorism has been formed within the public sphere of Ukraine.
