Four documentary short films about Ukrainian corruption have been uploaded with English subtitles, according to EuroMaidan PR, the official public relation service of the anti-government EuroMaidan movement. The four films are about: President Viktor Yanukovych and his multimillion-dollar Mezhyhirya estate; about a vetern of the Soviet war in Afghanistan who has been on a waiting list to get a flat from the state for 21 years; about a village in Poltava Oblast with no bus connection and the efforts of its residents to overcome this problem; and about everyday injustice and corruption in Ukraine.
