He makes a great point here:

“Fear of losing jobs and pensions makes these people easy to manipulate at election-time, something the ruling clan has used to great effect.In this context, state, oligarch-owned and Russian television has effectively demonized the Maidan as a U.S.-EU-sponsored plot supported by western Ukraine to destabilize the peace and harmony of the country.

Because they were paid to stand at demonstrations in favour of the regime, easterners were quite cynical regarding arguments that no one was paying the protesters. That changed when people on the Maidan started dying in mass numbers this week.” ----------------------------------------

He's right. Those protesters weren't dying for the European Union
