Most of the pro-coalition/pro-Yanukovych/pro-Moroz/pro-Symonenko folks at European Square had badges of the "delegates" of something called the National Unity Forum.

I loved how Mishah called the opposition/pro-Yulia/pro-Yushchenko/pro-Lutsenko crowd "the pro-presidential opposition" - so absurd.

A friend of ours was very impressed with Lutsenko's Maidan speech (which I missed): she said he was like a Ukrainian Lenin, and that made us frown, so she explained he was the most inspired and inspiring of them all.

At European Square, I eavesdropped on some Kyiv guys discussing their allies from Donetsk: how totally uncool they looked.

They were dancing at both squares, and here are the videos - three from the coalition rally at European Square, and one from Maidan, all shot shortly before I went back home - shortly before the beginning of Yulia's speech:

  3. Thanks for the pics of the dancing. I'm guessing there must've been a good deal of that going on...

    More details on the rallies wd be appreciated.
