“Today the driving force of Euromaidan is youth. These are people who have broken away from social networks and games, overcome the apathy and laziness of the hostels and come out to defend their opinion and vision.
This is very different from the Orange Revolution. There are no longer romantics here, there are people who are educated, who have seen the world, who communicate in several languages and who are needed everywhere except their own country. On the Maidans now are those who should constitute the middle class in any normal country, and our state is diligently making the proletariat out of young people and telling us that we should only work in mines and dying factories.”
