Serhiy Kvit: What the Ukrainian protests mean
Protesters outside Ukraine's Interior Ministry on Jan. 8. say that the investigation into the Christmas Day beating of journalist and opposition activist Tetyana Chornovol is moving too slowly.
The Ukrainian word maidan has Turkish origins. Its closest synonym is the word ‘square’. But maidan is a place for discussing and solving problems that are significant for every member of the community. People do not gather for those reasons regularly. This happens only when something goes wrong and a solution needs to be found.
