On Wednesday, March 5, 2014, I saw what I had never expected to see in my life. Not personally, unfortunately, I saw, but in video and photographs, but still. In Donetsk, there was a massive, about 10,000 people, a demonstration in support of independent Ukraine. A huge crowd with Ukrainian flags. In the center, dozens of people carried a panel several meters long. You usually see these not at protest rallies, but at sports parades.
