For the first time since the last days of the Yanukovych era, Ukraine has taken a step towards tyranny. On April 10, masked operatives from Ukraine’s State Bureau of Investigations swooped on the home of anti-corruption activist, civic leader, and former parliamentarian Tetyana Chornovol. She is being investigated by President Zelensky’s appointees on charges of murder and impeding the activities of former Ukrainian president Viktor Yanukoych’s Party of Regions during the country’s 2013-14 EuroMaidan Revolution.

Adrian Karatnycky: Zelensky puts EuroMaidan Revolution on trial
A EuroMaidan Revolution rally on Dec. 15, 2013, drew a crowd estimated at more than 200,000 people, taking up Khreshchatyk Street and the hillside overlooking Maidan Nezalezhnosti. The revolution came to an end on Feb. 22, 2014, when President Viktor Yanukovych fled power after four years of corrupt, authoritarian rule in which an estimated $40 billion was stolen from Ukrainians.
