KIEV, Ukraine - It is part rock concert, part political rally, part cultural festival - but Ukraine’s ice-hardened ‘Euromaidan’ protest is all revolution, exactly as organizers want it to be.
“A revolution of conscience” is how one protester described the defiant occupation of Kiev’s freezing cold main Independence Square.
The protests erupted on Nov. 21 after President Victor Yanukovytch’s made a U-turn decision not to sign a partnership deal with the European Union, that had been years in the making, and instead turn to Moscow, Ukraine’s Soviet-era master, for help saving the economy.
