If you actually read the laws that Yanukovych passed, they were hardly extreme, and are close to what is in place in most Western countries already.
Limits on shutting down infrastructure, arming yourself in a protest, wearing body armour, inciting violence, and setting up tents in public areas... Things which are illegal everywhere in the West.
But everyone gets their news through a filter here, no one reads primary sources, no one reads Ukrainian or Russian or even bothers with translation tools...
Edit - love the downvotes for suggesting people look into primary sources. Guess people love being sheep.
