Not HN (edit: or specifically from Crimea), but there is a Reddit post by a self-reported Ukrainian protestor which I found interesting: http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/1z9pkm/iama_ukrainian_protester_of_euromaidan_our/ http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/1z9pkm/iama_ukrainian_... There is also another series of interesting posts here: http://www.reddit.com/r/worldnews/comments/1zad2p/ukraine_put_its_armed_forces_on_full_combat_alert/ http://www.reddit.com/r/worldnews/comments/1zad2p/ukraine_pu... It's not HN, but it beats the worthless commentary that I've seen on TV while they show stock footage of tanks rolling around (which I haven't heard is the case).
