Here is the story I got from my in-laws at brunch an hour ago. They are from the areas in question.

As was the case with Iraq and other places, the picture the media is painting is far from accurate. There is money being put to work. Whose money, and what is the motive?

A woman we know who works on a hutr (farm) far from Kiev travelled to Kiev because enough money was being offered to protest against Russia in the Maidan. If you stood in the centre, you were paid 800 hryven, if you were not in the centre you were paid 500 hryven, and if you were on the periphery, you were paid 300 hryven. Apparently 300 was enough to lure her a great distance.

At the staging, you were given unlimited chai (tea) and boolichka (generic word for puffy bread pastry), a treat.

The people who fired apparently fired on both sides and the story is they were hired, possibly Lithuanians and Poles. The term "secret service" was used but it was hard for me to get a translation. I was reminded that the same thing happened in Yeltsin's time, and they found the same bullets in all the people shot.

I believe the hand of the West is deep in this one. I think it was the same in Georgia.

Something even more interesting, at least in the story. When the woman returned, she suffered frequent headaches. She went for a blood test and it was found that she had some kind of drug/chemical in her system, and she concluded that the free tea was laced with something to stir up the people who drank it.

There were no paid media folk in this 3-edge information chain as far as I can tell.
