I feel that a lot of people would understand the war in Ukraine vastly better if they had the slightest idea what went down in February 2014 on the Maidan. We haven't even got to the revolution's bloodiest day yet and over 106 unarmed people had already been shot dead by the forces of the pro-Russian Yanukovych. Someone's old mum just bought an axe. And Putin thought he could conquer these people in three days?

This history of Ukraine's Maidan Revolution of 2013-2014 is as gripping and immediate as one would expect from the wonderful documentary "Winter on Fire", but with a lot more added context. I keep wanting to underline quotes. Required reading for anyone who thinks they might find themselves protesting an overreaching government soon.
