As usual, @varlamov's got the large format photography goods from #euromaidan http://zyalt.livejournal.com/942815.html pity I can't read Russian
@grace8ming ah, but I'd like to read the entire thing, it supposedly details how the storming was a provocation or something?

@asteris and at some point in pic 13, people were chanting Ни капли крови, which is something like "no blood shed" i think... -
.
@grace8ming this is exactly the kind of nuanced play-by-play we rarely get in protest photojournalism from agencies (cheers@varlamov) -

@grace8ming are you kidding? You rock. Plus, noone's ever live-translated a piece for me like that, thank you kindly :) -
@asteris it's probably good to make my brain pull russian files from their cobwebby corner once in a while. now, i'm exhausted! :) g'nite... -
@grace8ming g'nite and thank you again, get some rest :) -
@asteris my pleasure. always enjoy our time together on twitter. :) "see" you soon, i'm sure. -
@grace8ming ditto, and of course :) - 5 more replies

@asteris then, yes, it seems he uses "provocateurs" (провокаторами), saying they ordered driver to push back police, but he didn't want to. -
.
@grace8ming what I keep asking is this: if ultrarights officially participate in#euromaidan, why are their rioters called provocateurs? -
@asteris i think he uses that word because he seems to think that this group of youth were looking to start shit just for the sake of it... -

@grace8ming [analysis] this group of youth were looking to start shit for the sake of it#euromaidan http://zyalt.livejournal.com/942815.html#euromaidan

@asteris i think he refers to "fanatics" (Фанаты) in pic 09... and he's kind of making fun of people in pics 10 & 11, it seems. -
@grace8ming well, 9 thru 11 look like typical riot roughnecks, but ofc it's impossible to say for sure what they are

@asteris in pic 08, i think he's basically saying that most people weren't aggressive & that "adults" put themselves at risk to create truce -
@grace8ming typical over here and other places as well; usually glossed over by media glutting on riot pr0n

@asteris he seems to be saying that these youth are of the right and were armed and looking to fight. makes comparison to bishkek... -
@grace8ming unsurprising, note this also https://twitter.com/leonidragozin/status/407610587007705088 … but Svoboda participates officially, how is it provocation then?
