I- READING:

Dear friends, I'm currently with family in Hong Kong but my thoughts and heart goes out to my
family and friends thousands of miles away in the Ukraine. Why should you bother reading my take
on it when the main news channels are already dominated by Ukraine stories?

Here's why. I have had first hand updates from old school friends and their families who are based
in both West and East Ukraine. For almost a decade, I went to school together with them.
Importantly, the school we all went to was one of the very few Russian speaking schools in West
Ukraine and our education had the emphasis on preserving Russian culture.
This is important because the insights I hear from Ukraine come from these well educated school
friends who have a long standing affinity for the Russian language and culture. Many of them now
live in the capital Kiev and some are currently on the barricades in the main Independence Square.

You
may ask, why listen to them? After all, they are just
individual opinions. In my view, its important that
they are. Individual opinion is exactly how voting
works in the UK Parliament, for example,as well as in
the US Congress and in every court case involving a
jury. Its the basis of both democracy and the rule of
law - having a range of opinions to make sure you
modify the extremes and get as fair and balanced a
result as possible. These are normal people, who want
a normal life.

So would these people choose to endanger the well-being of their families and their own life for a trifle?
Would anyone? Of course not. So why is the situation so extreme? I would like to offer some detail from their
perspective below but the short answer is there is no cultural limit to the need for human rights, justice and the
rule of law. I have made a point to ask friends of many years and those on the ground in Kiev about what is
actually happening day by day (having earned a 1st in Modern History from Oxford has equipped me with
pure research experience and the brainpower to deduce facts from fiction). So allow me to offer a perspective
on the first hand happenings inside this Ukrainian Revolution.
