Ilya Varlamov: "Weekend Revolution"

“The morning began with the fact that the Cossacks, as always, began to cook kulesh, and the police took their heads :) By about twelve o’clock several hundred thousand people had gathered on the Maidan and Khreshchatyk. Disputes about the number went on all day. Some say about 50 000, many counted a million. But there were really a lot of people.

For about ten more hours, girl activists with bouquets headed to the Cabinet of Ministers and the presidential administration. There they laid out calls to love and protect with flowers in front of the ranks of soldiers of the internal troops. In general, the civilian population behaves extremely appropriately - they try to give flowers to the police and military, feed them borscht and sweets, and urge them in every possible way to protect and not beat women and children.”
