I keep hearing that Ukrainians removed Yanukovich because he was corrupt. I so wish this were true. But no. If only people had such an intense reaction to corruption.
Yanukovich had to start shooting at an unarmed crowd for Ukrainians to get angry enough to chase him away.
There’s no need to prettify the Ukrainian revolution by ascribing fresh motivations to its participants. Today, bandits are being appointed to govern Ukrainian regions as a strategic move whose value I personally find doubtful. So that’s how much Ukrainians hate corruption.
