This is not a revolution. The political type of society is not going to change. The rioters are not supported by the population.

Strange that Ukrainians I know all support it.

  I know both kinds. What would you personally choose: a corrupt government or a revolt that was designed by someone outside of your country with their own agenda?

    How do you know it was designed by someone outside? And why does it matter anyway? Do you seriosuly thing all these people protesting were paid by CIA? For 3 months? Some of them - I agree. Just like some of them were paid by Russia to make the protesters look bad. That's how politics go. In the end the biggest group is still the people that came there cause they wanted to protest. And don't you think they have valid reasons to protest? Do you think what Yanukovych did is good or bad for Ukraine? I mean the whole set of anti-demonstration and anti-press laws. It's almost martial law. Is it OK with you? Better alternative to what exactly? Do you think he will let go of the power by himself? Or are you ok with benevolent dictator for life? It's how it always been in USSR, right? No point in leaving important matters to people. I was 6 when Poland become independent in 1989. I don't remember much, just empty shelves gray people and standing with my mother in queues forever. But my parents and the whole family do. Nineties was hard but in the end it all worked out OK. Poland is much better place now. Do I care who started the protests - nope. Do I think there were some foreign agencies and conspiracies in this? Probably there were. Both Soviet and American. In the end regular people decided. Soviets had the whole country, the army, press, censorship, party, everything. Americans had radio free Europe and Hollywood movies to "brainwash" us. And Russians were brainwashing us every bit as hard as Americans, with schools, media, holidays, incentives to be a party memeber, everything. Still couldn't hide the fact that system was broken by design and worked worse every year. People decided the revolution, not secret agencies.
