Winter on Fire	comment	Winter on Fire: Ukraine's Fight for Freedom is a 2014 film directed by Evgeny Afineevsky.It is a documentary about the "Euromaidan" protests of November 2013-February 2014 in Kyiv, Ukraine. Ukrainian president Viktor Yanukovych, widely seen as pro-Russian, withdraws at the last moment from an agreement to join The European Union. Instead, he pursues an agreement with Russia and its president Vladimir Putin.Outrage over this amongst pro-EU and anti-Russian Ukrainians leads to protests in Kyiv's central square, Maidan Nezalezhnosti ("Independence Square"). The anti-government rallies are initially relatively small scale, but an attack on November 30 by government security forces backfires and increases support for the protesters. As the protesters continue to occupy the square through the new year and into February 2014, government police and paramilitary forces become more aggressive, eventually firing live bullets at the protesters. Meanwhile, the protests widen in scope, as opposition builds to Yanukovych, government corruption, and Russian influence in Ukraine.

Winter on Fire / int_27e9edc	comment	Undercrank: The security cam footage of Yanukovych hurriedly leaving the city by helicopter. Apparently it was time-lapse footage, which is sped up in the movie, giving the movements onscreen a strange jerky quality.

Winter on Fire / int_2a3006e5	comment	State Sec: The Berkut units come across as effective troops, especially when their brutality is shown on camera. Originally founded after the collapse of the USSR as a kind of SWAT unit charged with fighting The Mafiya, the Berkut became associated with corruption and authoritarianism up until their disbandment after the Revolution. They bring shotguns, sniper rifles, grenades, and military armored trucks to bear against the protesters.

Then the film jumps back to the previous fall and the abandoned EU agreement.

Gangs of violent men similar to Football Hooligans but with a pro-Yanukovich streak and organized crime connections. Reports stated the regime paid $100 a day for a Titushki to take to the streets and attack protesters.

Winter on Fire / int_ad1db87c	comment	Oh, Crap!: A massive one by the Opposition leaders trying to get the crowds to disperse with promises of new elections- in six months. The people know that Yanukovich can easily go back on his word, that many of them will be arrested or worse, and that they may not gather in these numbers again. THEN a member of the army takes the stage, seizes the microphone, and announces the army is with the people and want to march on the government if their demands aren't met. The look on the Opposition leader sells it- he's lost control and these people all suspect him of selling his soul to Yanukovich.

Winter on Fire / int_fe5e40e2	comment	Gondor Calls for Aid: During an assult by the Berkut into the Maidan, the struggle became literally a push of bodies- Berkut against protestors- to see which side could force the other out of the Square. The bellringer of Saint Michael's Cathedral, Ivan Sydor, asked for and was granted permission from the Bishop to sound all the bells in the tower at once to call more people into the streets and join the struggle.note Ivan received the Ukrainian Order of Merit for his actions. The only other time all the bells have been rung at once? During the Mongol invasion.
