Any day is a good day to remember writer & activist Victoria Amelina. She talks about russian occupation, the murder of Volodymyr Vakulenko by russians, & also, eerily, about dying. She was killed months later by a russian missile strike in Kramatorsk. (By Catalina Gómez Ángel)

"Whatever will be, will be. I know that philosophy. They call it predestination, fatalism, fate, but what it really means is that you will do whatever the hell you want, as always." (The Double - Saramago)

During the Maidan, groups like the Right Sector, along with "regular" maidanists, supported the revolution & resisted all the violence from the state. What lies ahead for Georgians is very difficult.

There is the argument that the Maidan revolution overthrew a democratically elected government (sort of, there was electoral fraud). But when Yanukovych gave the order to repressive forces to shøøt protesters, his legitimacy ended. The Maidan revolution was necessary & justified.

Yanukovych used the police, the Berkut (special police force) & "titushky" (thugs employed by the security services) as repressive forces. In this video from Jan 2014, filmed by one of the thugs, they can be seen attacking maidanists. Similar of what we see now in Georgia
