Anti-protest laws passed by the Ukranian government brought people to the streets of Kiev in a massive protest rally that has turned into a full blown riot with no end in sight.
The Ukranian government has tried to limit the amount of press photos that make their way out of the madness, but Independent ournalist Ilya Varlamov has been taking notes and shooting pics, sharing a firsthand account on his LiveJournal of what life is like in the belly of this fiery, politically fueled beast. Ilya's photos are truly a sight to behold- full of raw energy, destruction and people in action, fighting for a cause they truly believe in.
You can read more about Ilya's experiences in Kiev at Animal NY.
I was wondering what the first photo was all about, then realized that they've made a makeshift catapult. What amazing pictures.
