Six months ago today, the Revolution of Dignity culminated. By this time of the day, I had stopped counting the ambulances that were bringing the dead and injured to Hospital #17. I stopped at 50, and they kept coming every 2-3 minutes all night. Six months is twice as long as the Maidan revolution, an incredibly corrupt regime was brought down by 3 months of peaceful civil disobedience, with a few infamous days of violence. I don’t know of any other time in history when such a horrible government was brought down (a) so quickly (3 months); (b) by almost entirely peaceful civil disobedience; and (c) with so few casualties (about 100).
Ukrainians are amazing.
