#2 And there is your problem - inaccurate coverage. hat has taken place is a popular revolution, with all of the messiness, confusion, and opposition that entails. The young leaders of the Maidan, some of them leftists, some rightist, have risked their lives to oppose a regime that represented, at an extreme, the inequalities that we criticize at home, and that were criminal, authoritarian, and aligned with the authoritarian gangster Putin. They have an experience of revolution that we do not. Part of that experience, unfortunately, is that Westerners are provincial, gullible, and reactionary.
