A woman visits the pro-European Union barricades in Kyiv city center on Jan. 30, 2014, less than a month before Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych fled power during the EuroMaidan Revolution.

Back then, this was done with carefully chosen words, mere suggestions rather than open critique of the authorities. As time passed, we lost our patience.
