So I just somewhat heard on the radio that the Russian boxer (Kalichko sp? Weren't there two of them?) that was heavy weight champ is the leader of the protesters/rioters. Is that right?

He's like a member of parliament and one of the opposition leaders. Boxing champ with a Ph.D. Who knew?

yeah it seems like klitschko is really into this. last night he was close enough to get hosed by a fire extinguisher.

a couple dozen guys behind the tire wall are throwing rocks and the occasional malotov cocktail. the cops are lobbing molotovs of their own as well. it's pretty exciting to see one in flight.

looks like they stormed a building recently and are waiting for someone to come out?

http://www.ustream.tv/channel/euromajdan/pop-out

the president offered klitschko the prime minister position but he said "nope, we need some new elections"

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-25896786

part of the outrage stems from the president putting the old prime minister, yulia tymoshenko, in prison. the pm says that she made natural gas deals with the EU that cost more than natural gas deals with russia would have.

what kind of monster could put this human into prison?

If only being in prison was the worst of her problems. Its a really jacked up situation for her.

I think that was after a protester threw a grenade at police and then an officer realized what it was and tried to kick it away only to have it explode on his foot and injure several other officers.
