In 2010 they (illegally, as some say) changed the Constitution to the one that strengthens the powers of president. Was Parliament-presidential, became president-parliamental.

Bullshit

I am not. And I am lucky to be not attacked as of yet. The day before yesterday I saw two people being killed by the police during the attack.

Ukraine is very corrupt. With coming of Yanukowich and his mafia, it became absolutely terrible. People generally used to see him as embodiment of corruption and all the bad shit happening in the country.

After two months of government ignoring the peaceful protest, and torturing activists, and putting them into jail, and then allowing the horrible bloodshed, people generally see him as someone they want to get killed.

I don't think UN or EU and US can intervene. The situation is very controversial, a lot of people think of protests as of neo-Nazi coup. This position justifies the use of force.

Sometimes I think, maybe I'm the brainwashed one, and really am partaking in the neo-Nazi coup. But then I remember the tortures and arrests during the peaceful protests, the beatings of peaceful student rally, paying and arming thugs to shoot at the Kyiv residents, and remember who is fascist in this confrontation.

Although I admit there are some things that protesters did which are terrible and deserve punishment.
