DONETSK, Ukraine — This eastern Ukrainian city took another step toward mob rule Thursday as pro-Russian separatists stormed the state prosecutor’s office and forced dozens of riot police deployed to guard the building into a humiliating surrender.
The attackers, who threw stones and wielded sticks, were backed by a crowd of at least 1,000 men and women of all ages. They chanted “fascists” and “traitors” at the riot police and waved Russian flags as well as those of the self-styled Donetsk People’s Republic.

Separatists = Russian Military
Exactly.
Uhhhhh, wait a minute.
The "government" in Kiev, the Kiev Kiddies, took power with a mob who "humiliated the riot police" and then it was a magnificent victory for freedom.
So, to be consistent, the people in Dontsk have won a magnificent victory for freedom.
Or, of course, the crowd in Kiev is just an illegal mob that happens to agree with the EU just like the people in Dontsk are an illegal mob who happen to disagree with the Kiev Kiddies.
The Parachute Brigade that Kiev dis-banned, all Russian?
Looks like Occupy Wallstreet, you sure you have the right photo?
The Donetsk People's Republic (Russian: Донецкая народная республика, Donetskaya narodnaya respublika) is a self-proclaimed state,[7][8] declared on 7 April 2014 by several hundred activists who currently occupy the Regional Administration Building and the City Hall[9] buildings in Donetsk,[10][11] as well as other cities in the region.[12] In addition to Donetsk city, as of 14 April, pro-Russian separatists have taken control of government buildings in other cities within the oblast, including Mariupol, Horlivka, Sloviansk, Kramatorsk, Yenakiieve, Makiivka, Druzhkivka, and Zhdanivka.[13][14][15][16]
The Donetsk People's Republic has not been recognized by any other state.[17] Their stated goals are either the federalization of Ukraine, union with Russia, or independence.
According to the Kyiv Post most of the protesters are 50 years or older, while inside the building, many of the occupiers are younger but from other cities like Mariupol, Kherson and Mykolaiv. The occupiers include both men and women.[18] Numerous Russian citizens, including leaders of various far-right militant groups, have also taken part in the events.[19] The OSCE reported that all the main institutions of the city observed by the Monitoring Team seemed to be working normally as of 16 April.[20] On 22 April, separatists agreed to release the session hall of the building along with two floors to state officials.[21] The 9th and 10th floors were later released on 24 April.[22]
The pro-Russian separatist activities are headed by the Donetsk Republic organization, a group which has been banned in Ukraine since 2007. The group's leader, Andrei Purgin, was arrested weeks prior on charges of separatism.[23] The political leader of the state in absentia is the self-declared People's Governor Pavel Gubarev,[1][24] a former member of the neo-Nazi Russian National Unity paramilitary group and former Communist Progressive Socialist Party of Ukraine,[25][26][27][28] who is also currently arrested on charges of separatism and illegal seizure of power.[29][30] Denis Pushilin is the chairman of the government,[3][4] while Igor Kakidzyanov has been named as the commander of the "People's Army".[5]
You will not live again.
You will not rise from the snow
Twenty-eight holes from the bayonet
Five from the gun.
I have made a shroud for my friend,
Sad cloth.
She loves, loves blood
This Russian Earth.
Anna Akhmatova, 1921
This is just the latest chapter...
They also could have gotten them from the Parachute Brigade that defected which wouldn't be surprising since if their Parachute Brigades are modeled on Russian ones they're lavishly equipped with MANPADs with each personnel carrier having a half-dozen or more along with a dozen RPGs or equivalent.
Flaming hypocrites at the Obama Media cooperative.
After the massacre in Odessa, no one in the East trusts the Maidan regime’s rule - its being forced out.
As it continues senseless attacks on the eastern part of the country, Russia can let it discredit itself.
The spilling of blood has taken the crisis into a far more dangerous and unpredictable phase.
Imagine a quality of Ukrainian ‘democracy’ considering how many people prefer to get back to the USSR.
It is all a Clinton legacy.
All these people in fUSSR were fed up with socialism and pro-American to boot at the time. Not everyone understood how exactly free enterprise works, but there were enough who understood and the rest were willing to try.
Instead of propping them up, Clintonistas has picked and trained some Commie Youth folks, declared them liberal technocrat government and assisted them in usurping power and grabbing pieces of old Soviet economy.
Where were no rule of law, just tsars of different scale who fought each other using their mafias and corrupt officials.
And instead of Bible and three branches of government Clintonistas pushed health benefits of anal sex and liberal arts into post-Soviet school programs, also supported any subversive groups in society ranging from Muslims to LGBT freaks and satanists.
All the travesty above provides some perfect points for communist propaganda in these nations.
Cronism, mafias, poverty and perversion are heavily related to all things Western in opinion of an average former Soviet after 1990s.
And commies, some of whom are in position to influence governments are busy to link positive aspects of Western culture to overall negative perception.
‘You want free enterprise and little government? Got looting oligarchs and organized crime. Love it? You want freedom of religion and assembly? Got torturing satanists and LGBT freak show. Love it?? You love America? Got US-funded muslim terrorists and Belgrade bombing’.
That is how it works. Poland, Baltic states has somwhow overcome this crap and you won’t buy people for this crap.
Russia, Kazakhstan are closer to a right direction, there is a huge growing middle class is these nations, ready to flip a bird for their commies but commie influence is still there and they have their chance given proper conditions.
Belarus overcome it’s mess by going back full-Soviet, which is barely an improvement.
Ukraine is still like Russia in earlier 1990s and there is no progress in sight.
Commies from one side, Nazi from the other, corrupt NWO tsars in the middle and no middle class to say a thing about it.
She died 50 years ago today.
