In reply to the discussion: Russia: Constitutional Court Upholds ‘Foreign Agents’ Law [View all]cprise
(8,445 posts)29. Lets talk dates...
Dec. 2: 'Demonstrators' throwing fire bombs at police. Also bricks. And they tried to run the police over with a bulldozer. That is lethal force, and I understand it was in retaliation to police beating up some people on the Maidan.
Some police actually did catch on fire.
Jan. 22: Two(?) rioters die from bullet wounds. Last I checked the BBC didn't ascribe the killing to police (though I acknowledge its likely)
Any you'd like to add? How about dates for Nuland's speaking and glad-handling the 'demonstrators'.
