Russia Today on Hacker News? Really?
Comment · 12 years ago
@jmnicolas a quick google search will tell you that that's exactly what Russia wants you to believe. It's mostly intelligent, educated and brave people who are protesting. When on the other side it's mostly criminals (with the president who is a 2 times convicted felon). Far right is there as well, but only a minor part of the protest

Mike, this "second view" of yours is oh so close to propaganda of Russian TV. Calling everyone a fascist and hiding the inconvinient facts. There is no second view within humam rights framework.
- Yanukovych's power-sharing offer is a sham. It is not true power sharing until he is a president - he controls everything.
- Just looks at the definintion of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fascism. Yes, there is a nationalistic element in Svoboda party. It isn't pretty itself as well, but it is far, far, far from fascism. Nobody besides Yanukovych is authoritarian here.
- protesters were beaten up for 2 months, but didn't fight back. Only when Yanukovych decided to forbid peaceful protest in general the aggression from protesters started. I don't think police should be just standing under Molotov cocktails, but their reaction SHOULD NOT be shooting from a sniper riffles, killing 5 people, violently beating up protesters, kidnapping protesters from hospitals (!) beeting them up again (!) and taking them far into the fields and leaving there to die on -10°C (14°F) (!).
- Yanukovych has indeed been elected through democratical elections. That is true. And what has he done since then? Jailed his main opponent Yulia Tymoshenko. Changed the constitution to have full power in his hands. There is not a chance now that the next election under him will be fair. And you can state whatever you want but Party of Regions did loos a lot of electorate now. It is not half of coutry now at all, as you've stated.
