Research concludes the Maidan Square snipers were anti-government militants.
When, in early 2014, unarmed demonstrators and even government riot police in Maidan Square were being shot and killed by snipers, Western sources, without bothering to investigate, immediately accepted that the murders had to have been ordered by President Yanukovych's crowd control officials. This was despite undisputed video of snipers firing from windows high in several buildings occupied by anti-government protesters. The West was in no mood to accommodate suggestions anyone else might be at fault. The Ukrainian government was corrupt and evil, the logic seemed to go, so of course they had to be guilty! Now, however, unbiased examination of the evidence has concluded that was just not the case.

Study Proves Maidan Snipers Were Western-Backed Opposition’s False Flag
A study of the February 20, 2014 “Snipers’ massacre” in Kiev, where scores of protesters were killed by shots fired from surrounding buildings, has proved that it was carried out by Western-backed opposition groups. The research found that the Berkut special police force, which was loyal to the Ukrainian government, was not responsible, contrary to the narrative which was created by the post-Maidan coup government in Kiev, and consequently accepted by Western governments and media.
Ivan Katchanovski, a teacher of political science at the University of Ottawa, studied eyewitness reports, estimates of ballistic trajectories, 30 gigabytes of security forces’ radio intercepts, 5,000 photos and 1,500 videos and broadcast recordings of the protesters’ deaths.
“This academic investigation concludes that the massacre was a false flag operation, which was rationally planned and carried out with a goal of the overthrow of the government and seizure of power,” wrote Katchanovski in his study, called ‘The “Snipers’ Massacre” on the Maidan in Ukraine.’
“It found various evidence of the involvement of an alliance of the far right organizations, specifically the Right Sector and Svoboda, and oligarchic parties, such as Fatherland. Concealed shooters and spotters were located in at least 20 Maidan-controlled buildings or areas.”

It's even funnier when you constantly chose to use only Russian owned propaganda sources as your "news" sources.
Sputnik News?
Might as well be Pravda.
From sputnik news?
That's a riot.
A wholly created and owned Russian govt propaganda machine?
Well, I do have a master, that would be my wife.
When you get down to it, political power is public communication of applied fallacy. Power is an accepted Fiction.
But, your formulation is more elegant. Double-plus good. It's enough to drive one to Victory Gin.
Find me a corroborating story that is NOT from RT or Sputnik, and is a REPUTABLE news source (ie, not "Bob's Blog"
. That's all I ask. If you can provide that, then there MIGHT be some truth to this. My cursory search just turned up this and RT, however. And the Russian govt is the LAST people I'd believe in regards to this issue.
When did that happen?
Your response right here says all we need to know.
I want all to see just what your true agenda here is, which has become clearer by the day.
because RT wasn't pro-Putin enough.
My computer has not started popping up little Green Men or Putins. No worries 
Limiting data and analysis selection to publication which inherently validate your own conclusions is by its very definition, bias.
However, I completely understand the schools of thought which may entertain such pretenses. Journalists investigation into the leaked information found that the pro-Kremlin movement had been engaging in all kinds of digital activities, including paying commentators to post content and hijacking blog ratings ( "Kremlin's Blogshop" by Anastasia Karimova, Izvestia) and that a Freedom House report stated that Russia has been using paid commentators to manipulate online discussions and has been at the forefront of this practice for several years (Russia's Online-Comment Propaganda Army, The Atlantic, by Olga Khazan)
Further investigations were performed by Novaya Gazeta and Institute of Modern Russia in 2014–15, inspired by the peak of activity of the pro-Russian brigades during war in Donbass and assassination of Boris Nemtsov. The effort of using "troll armies" to promote Putin's policies is a multimillion-dollar operation. According to The Guardian investigation the flood of pro-Russian comments is part of a coordinated "informational-psychological war operation". One Twitter bots network was documented to use over 20'500 fake Twitter accounts to spam hateful comments after assassination of Boris Nemtsov and events related to the war in Donbass (Lawrence Alexander's "Social Network Analysis Reveals Full Scale of Kremlin's Twitter Bot Campaign)
Stated much better than I could, "The effect created by such Internet trolls is not very big, but they manage to make certain forums meaningless because people stop commenting on the articles when these trolls sit there and constantly create an aggressive, hostile atmosphere toward those whom they don’t like. The trolls react to certain news with torrents of mud and abuse. This makes it meaningless for a reasonable person to comment on anything there..." ("Internet Troll Operation Uncovered in St. Petersburg", The St. Petersburg Times, by Sergey Chernov).
Udači!
