We have these kind of riots in Hungary (pretty close to Ukraine) as well. They are not really revolutions, but they are a good indicator that the people are extremely fed up with current government policies, which may lead to a revolution.<p>Exciting times to live in, hopefully the people will be able to get rid of the corrupt ruling class.<p>EDIT:<p>Just to give you bit of context on corruption... in the UK where I currently live, politicians are going into prisons for faking a couple of thousands of pounds as expense and profiting from that... A couple of thousands...<p>Compared to that, a couple of years ago, a guy called Bajnai Gordon was the prime minister in Hungary, who is well known by everyone for his act of destroying the whole agricultural economy of eastern Hungary. He did stole all the money from one of the largest companies at the time. Multiple farmers committed suicide, etc.<p>Years after that, he became a prime minister. Truly mind blowing. Those people are evil, and have cheeks, they deserve to spend the rest of their lives in prisons.<p>If you are interested about (the politically correct version of) the story, search for "Hajdu-Bet" here:<p><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gordon_Bajnai" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gordon_Bajnai</a>
