> they overthrow him. exactly! it was a military coup in which constitutional government of ukraine was overthrown. so, let's assume that every single one on maidan wanted that, and it was genuine desire of people present at madian, let's even assume that. why the hell should other parts of ukraine report to this new government? i mean, what right do they have to impose their will on people of odessa, donbass, crimea? those people weren't present at maidan, they were not represented there. from their point of view - this new government is illegitimate. and this illegitimate government started a war on its own people.    > not a coup, because not some clique within the machine, people, babushkas standing in line and handing bricks to the barricades. even so, let's assume there were 10 million babooshkas standing there! ok? 10 million babooshkas, all genuinely want to overthrow corrupt putin's puppet yanukovich. still, 12 million people voted for yanukovich, hence, unless you claim that there were like 13 million of babooshkas on maidan, your logic doesn't add up. and even so - there are procedures (called elections) - where people get to vote for their elected officials.
