It is third or fourth revolt since 1990 if memory serves me well.

2004 Orange Revolution is #1, this one is second. (Unless you're counting collapse of USSR as one? There have been mass demonstrations at the time, but you're being too generous to credit Ukrainians for collapse of USSR)

There will be another and another and another revolt, as long as they're selecting politicians that keep failing them. The alternative is to give up on life, shut up and suffer in silence. It might be suitable for Russians, but Ukrainians have Cossack blood in them :)

Agree with Yanek being a Ukrainian creation. Foreign affiliation is what I meant by "your guy". RF placed a bet on him, he lost; RF is to admit they supported a pathetic tyrant and move on. Getting involved in an internal Ukrainian problem, like issuing threats to invade Crimea, that's not good.
