It started with massive peaceful protests, when current president decided not to sign a trade agreement with EU at the last minute, which in this case is also a major geopolitical decision, a poor country in the center of Europe can be allied these days with either EU or Russia and as much as faggotish EU is, majority of people over there would rather like to see closer ties with the “west” than with Russia, geography plays a role over there, people in western part are overwhelmingly “pro-western” when a lot of people in the east are rather pro-Russian, however this division is not as strong as some suggest, Austrians and many Swiss speak German but it doesn't mean they want their country to become a part of Germany... People in the east would be openly against joining NATO, however closer ties with EU were not that controversial, current president and gov were voted in with that agenda...

When people started protesting, government used security forces with full brutality against them, most of normal people run away, who's left protesting in the capital are mainly “fanatics” throwing molotovs at security forces, however protests are now also in many other cities including some in the east. People over there are simply disgusted with their “elites”, they are relatively well educated and hard working but live in a dirt poor country due to incompetence of their politicians and 3rd world style corruption.

It's not yet some Mad Max chaos, outside of places where protests take place people are living relatively normal life, however If they keep using live bullets against protesting people, everything may happen, for example some of government forces may switch sides and then we will see full scale civil war... hopefully that won't happen.
