The thing is that I don't believe in Russian propaganda's invention of the term "Western backed coup". I remember that Western politicians said "no violence, only negotiation, you need to come to agreement with Yaniukovych (that time president), and these negotiations were going on with the help of Western politicians. And when Yanukovych ran away, parliament voted for change in power in a legitimate way. So it was not coup, but my words probably won't persuade you as you are already biased.

I think the reason that it is referred to as a 'Western backed coup' is because it was in the West's interest to aid and abet it. As for Yanukovych running away.......that just indicates 'partisanship' on behalf of yourself. You generally reap what you sow. For the West it has not turned out to be as easy as they thought it would be, and there is no fat lady about to appear any time soon. Some have recently predicted escalation on the part of Kiev. We shall have to see what this will bring apart from more deaths.
