KIEV, Ukraine — An opposition unit took control of the presidential palace outside Kiev on Saturday, as leaders in Parliament said Ukraine’s president, Viktor F. Yanukovych, had fled the capital a day after a deal was reached aimed at ending the country’s spiral of violence.

My pleasure , I am very curious to how Vlad will react. The eastern states will ask for his help as they are run by his puppets. What will restrain him?
Chill people, Yanuk’s digs are nothing compared with Al Gore’s and John Edwards’ palaces!
From what I see, they are Nationalists. I have sorted through newsletters at the Ukranian Cultural Center from the 1930’s and the theme is the same, they do not like collectivism and Soviet rule. How many family members were lost during Holodomor. 600 people a day were coming to Kiev from Lviv in support and love of country. Ukranians are afraid of the police because of the corruption and the power they wield over the population. I was on a train coming out of Kiev and asked my wife what the boxcars with the hammers and sickles painted on the sides and the little barred windows were. She responded “prison train”
Or whatever this is.
The regular size toilet is on the right side, this thing is on the same level (too low to be the sink). Toilet for the kids, to wash your shoes? - would appreciate anyone's help 
But damn, I do like those rooms. Wood carved ceilings and all
thank you
Thanks for the update.
You don’t think EU globalists meddle in affairs like this?
IB4TNCWW2SITP - In before the neocons who want to stick it to Putin.
Usually when one despotic government is replaced, the new one is more despotic than the former, viz Iran.
Why do they call those who violently took over a tyrannical government, “protestors”?

What’s Ukrainian for “Ceausescu”?
The well connected wealthy in our own government are living at or near this level.
After looking at these images of his private Disneyland castle, no wonder this SOB fled the country...He’d would have ended up like Gaddafi did.
Has O declared it demoncracy triumphant and given the rebels a blank check yet? Or is stupid foreign policy now John Kerry’s department?
I think the Ukrainians know what’s best for themselves, and they want to get rid of Putin and his allies. If you think they should stay under Putin’s rule, then you’re for his imperialism.
I agree with you. There were so many dumb conservatives who thought just because Putin was exploiting and demagoguing the homosexual issue he was some type of born again conservative in favor of the rule of law, free elections, and limited government. The former KGB thug has merely been manufacturing support with new propaganda. He obviously couldn’t fool the Ukrainians.
The neo-cons didn’t stick it to Putin. The Ukrainians did for their own reasons and legitimate grievances. Get over it.
I’m for neither side’s imperialism. I think we should just have an open mind when it comes to information being fed to us. I am not however, for balkanization of the Ukraine or Russia which could be next.
