Came across some neat blogs by Ukranians in the middle of it:

Wow, this is exciting.
See post #1 and #25 on the following thread. Adds a whole new dimension to what's going on in the Ukraine.

A v strane s kazhdym dnem vse slozhnee i slozhnee. Narod ne ustupaet vlasti i vse bolee aktivno vystupaet za svoi prava. Yushchenko segodnya ob"yavil o sozdanii narodnoy gvardii, chtoby zashchishchat'sya, a takzhe ob"yavlena vseobshchaya politicheskaya zabastovka. Vse predpriyatiya ne rabotayut, instituty ne uchat, shkoly ne poseshchayutsya. Mnogie goroda ob"yavili o tom, chto oni ne podchinyayutsya Yanukovichu, v nekotorykh gorodakh siloviki pereshi na storonu bastuyushchikh, ehto khorosho, ne budut strelyat' (ne dovedi gospod') v svoy narod. No samoe smeshnoe to, chto Yanukovich planiryet provesti inaguratsiyu. No Verkhovniy sud priostanovil lyubye deystviya po publikatsii o ego naznachenii, t.k. Yushchenko popal v Verkhovniy sud isk na fal'sufukatsiyu so storony Yanukovicha vyborov. Budem nadeyat'sya, chto Verkhovniy sud primet reshenie, kotoroe otmenit rezul'taty vyborov tam, gde oni byli sfal'sifitsirovany komandoy Yanukovicha. No na ehto nadezhdy malo, t.k. sud pod davleniem vlasti. No, vdrug. Zhivem na vulkane. No raduet to, chto my ne stali bydlom i smogli raspryamit' plechi za chto nas stal uvazhat' mir."But in (our) country every day is more and more complicated. The people won't back off from the government and are ever more actively demanding their rights. Yushchenko declared today that he is forming a people's guard, in order to defend themselves, and also a nationwide political strike was declared. All the businesses are closed, the institutes are not giving classes, no one is in school. Many cities declared that they will not work under Yanukovich, and in several cities the police and armed forces have gone over to the side of the strikers, it's good that they won't shoot (God grant that it doesn't come to this) on their own people. The most amusing is that Yanukovich is planning to have an inauguration, but the Supreme Court has ceased all activities related to publishing him being named (as president), and Yushchenko has a suit against Yanukovich in the Supreme Court by for falsifying the election. Let's hope that the Supreme Court decides to change the results of the election in those places where there was falsifying by Yanukovich's team. But there is little hope, since the court is under pressure from the government. But, it could happen. We live on the edge of a volcano, but I'm happy that we didn't act like cattle and were able to straighten our shoulders, and for this the world has begun to honor us."
