What if some of the documents contain private information of non-involved individuals? Any steps being taken to protect their details?

  Good question -- this is definitely an issue we need to wrestle with. For now, the vast bulk of the documents going up are business papers involving Yanukovich's companies and the management of his estates. I think those are fair game. But we'll get into murkier areas as time goes on. For now, if you see something that you think shouldn't be public, drop an email to yanukovychleaks@gmail.com and we'll look into it.

    Isn't that a bit too late at that point in time? Once something has been on the internet...

  If nothing else, this is a reminder that any "private" information you reveal to the state may or may not remain private. Hence the importance of "The right of the people to be secure in their ... papers ..., against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized." That includes bureaucratic compulsion under penalty. Maybe this will persuade Ukrainians to demand real privacy protections (as in: the government can't have private info).

    ... you did not just quote the US Constitution at a Ukrainian.

      Works pretty well for us when followed. Just making a suggestion, since constitutional changes seem in the works for Ukraine.
