Winter on Fire Page #3

They give us corruption!

We give them revolution!

Everyday people, teachers,

doctors, street cleaners,

everyone, the whole country said,

"This must stop!"

I'd like all of us to remember

that there are two European values:

freedom and human dignity.

And no one can deprive us of them.

These are fundamental rights

that we must fight for.

Today all of us are here,

regardless of our political views,

people from different cities,

from all over Ukraine,

speaking different languages.

We all came here to fight for one thing:

for our freedom, our dignity.

Ukraine, we are all together!

One million people,

outraged by such barbaric cruelty.

They showed the government

must not enrage the nation.

This inspired me very much.

Our people are not without rights

and they are not cowards.

Brothers and sisters!

Yanukovych and his gang

raised a hand against our children!

He thought we would

be scared and hide!

Many of us were feeling very angry.

My friends said they were

going to Bankova Street,

because they wanted revenge

for the beatings of the girls.

All of them were so furious

about what happened.

I could see anger

in their faces and acts.

And everyone seriously thought

that the presidential headquarters

could be seized.

In the front lines

there were people wearing masks,

but as far as I could see,

there were average boys and girls

standing in the crowd behind.

Police with the people!

No aggression!

Only peaceful protest!

We have beautiful people here

who want change,

but let's get real, we are outnumbered!

If we want revolution to happen,

we need to involve them, not hit them!

There were provocateurs there

planted by the Berkut.

To give them a reason

to storm and beat everyone.

The police threw stun grenades,

and dispersed tear gas into the crowd.

One of the Berkut policemen

ran to me and hit my leg.

It hurt so much,

I couldn't walk or even stand.

Some of the Red Cross medical workers

pushed me into the nearest house

and protected me with their backs.

Berkut beat up all these guys.

They shielded me

with their backs and saved me.

My friend was beaten

much more than the others

while he was lying on the ground.

He is indifferent to politics.

He is an average man...

like most of us who were

standing on the Maidan.

Call the ambulance!

We can't help him.

I have only one question: Why?

Aren't you Ukrainian too?

We need a doctor!

People of Maidan asked officers

in reserve for help.

We gathered, moved to Maidan

and started to construct barricades.

What was good about Maidan

was self-organization.

Everyone knew what they needed to do,

and they did it on their own.
