Ukraine Thread

[Gilrandir]

My judgement is sound. I didn't say they were majority, I said "they played disproportionally large role". Try to read.

To prove the soundness of your judgement of "disproportionally large role" you should give the said proportion and the disproportionate character of the role must be further demonstrated by respective figures. Moreover, you should explain what proportion you consider normal (10%, 20% or what) and why. Since no such proportion or any figures were offered, let me doubt the soundness of your judgement.

There's been links to articles in this and previous thread. You can look for yourself. There are ample sources on the net. It is a matter of pride in Lviv that the Lviv State University was empty during Maidan, because all students were in Kiev.

The latter claim is an overstatement. How do you know that ALL students were there? Do you have any data based on the class registers (manifesting attendance) and then another document vouching that all the absent at classes students of, say, the law school of Lviv University, asked for a leave to go to Maidan or put signatures under a solemn vow to go there and then still another one to show that all those who cut classes in Lviv were registered on Maidan? If I were you, I would say that this is a sensationalist claim (Russian TV showing a footage of empty classrooms whose attendants have gone to the nazi putsch in Kiev) and a cheap shot. But I wouldn't.

But it is not even important. No one denies that the Western regions of Ukraine were heavily represented on Maidan. What you do is claiming that ALL of their representatives were far rightists. To sustain such a claim one must produce proofs.
