Russia Supporters Storm Ukraine Government Buildings

57. Euromaidan was not representative of the nation as a whole

This (Eastern) is indeed the region furthest in philosophy from the current government, but there is a LOT of the population that does not identify with the new government; though they may agree with European alignment, they are not all like the current government, which is a lot like a Ukrainian version of our Tea Party.
They do represent a good swath of the west, but they are hard to the right. Do folks really think there are no liberals or moderates in the West side of Ukraine? Think about how the moderate part of the country would really feel about what happened and is happening there? A lot of the country is very concerned and not just about what is happening in the East.

While people there wanted change, they sure did not want the type they got. Most people there want stability far more than a Trade alignment don't you think?
