I didn't trust those who promised you "European future", no corruption and no oligarchs. You seemed to. So, what are you preaching me about?Bad Yanukovich, promises from someone, someone should give you something. Are you a child?
No one owes you nothing in this world. You should trust only your close relatives and very close friends. No one is going to 'give' you anything.

2014:What irritated me the most in Yanukovich was not his refusing to sign an agreement with the EU per se. It was just a final drop.

As we pointed out recently, even the poll commissioned by the U.S. State Department found that only 37 percent of Ukrainians favored joining the EU.
Why then, should Americans take direction from George Soros, Barack Obama, John Kerry, Hillary Clinton, the New York Times, Washington Post, CNN, John McCain and other internationalist voices who insist it is Ukraine that must “choose” … but the only choice considered acceptable and legitimate to the globalist choir is for Ukraine to join the EU? Soros and his huge stable of “public intellectuals” at Project Syndicate have been flooding the global media with propaganda to that purpose.
George Soros’ Giant Globalist Footprint in Ukraine’s Turmoil
Stephen Cohen: Why did the European Union tell the democratically elected president of such a profoundly divided country, two Ukraines, in November, that he must decide either/or, you’re either with Europe, or you’re with Russia? That’s a provocation, and that’s where this began. And here’s what’s not reported.
The Real Reason the US Media Hates Vladimir Putin - Daily Reckoning
There should have been a referendum to choose whom to be with: Russia or EU and Yanukovich wanted only to prolong Ukraine's neutral status and to make a decision later. The coup was anti-constitutional but as long as it was not pro-Western president overthrown you were ok with that. BTW, Eastern Ukraine hated Yuschenko quite a bit too but we waited until his term was over and ELECTED somebody different
Then right thing to do was to wait until the next elections (they were supposed to be held the next year!)This system of power was going to fall anyway. Except of that, the economic situation was not so cloudless as you want to imply. In the last two years of his rule there was stagnation in the econony, the central bank annualy sold some of its reserves to support the exchange rate of the currency. And that is just two things which i remembered the first.
.
For me the question 'was the coup worth it' sounds ridiculous. Because as I said above his system of power was going to fall anyway.
With bad Yanuckovich and his stagnation almost everybody could afford to buy food, medicine, clothes, to pay utilities. There was industry in Ukraine and people had jobs and were actually paid (now people keep losing the jobs and their bosses delay the salaries or even don't pay at all). Now mainly crooks and those who work for crooks have jobs and are paid (with a rear exception.) Ukraine was promised to be "another Switzerland " or "another France" to encourage the people to vote for "independence" in 1991. Now Ukraine reminds another Somalia.
With bad Yanuckovich there was no war, there were no attacks of the churches and seizing the churches, there were no attacks on singers and actors (just because they were pro-Western or pro-Russian), the people could choose their first language for education, Nazis were not marching in our streets, the people were not burnt alive (like in Odessa) and so on and on,
