Yeah, the Russians are firebombing the pro Russian Party of Regions office. And the Jews were firebombing the synagogue?

I was visiting there last year for personal reasons, and I enjoyed it very much, Kiev and Lviv. I was supportive of the peaceful student protests, and impressed by their civic participation. I think it's good they got rid of Yanukovich, he was very corrupt, but at some point it became obvious to me that radicals were running the show for the protesters, and what would happen if they came to power. These people are not interested in democracy, they are interested in imposing their nationalistic views on others. People interested in democracy don't bomb political party offices. They don't tear down monuments and seize county governments in other people's towns. Even in places where they have taken control the democratic institutions, they aren't interested in democracy, they just go and do what they feel like using threat of violence.
They are pushing their luck by going into the eastern areas, destroying property, and stirring problems there. Just like Yanukovich was despised in the west, the western nationalists are despised in the east. They are seen as neo-Nazis. The more they go in, the more antagonized the local population will be to the new regime. If the new regime doesn't muzzle their nationalist dogs, it won't be able to govern in the east, and it will probably lose Crimea outright. It's their call.
