This stuff is kind of an insult to Ukrainians who protested a bit before that. Do you think this also didn't have something to do with the origin of the change of government: https://www.rferl.org/a/ukraine-protest-kiev-eu/25193530.htm... ?

It's certainly not meant as an insult to Ukrainians, but it is a fact (see sources listed below).

I maan sure the US encouraged things but the pro Russian president Yanukovych was removed from office by Ukraine's parliament in 328 to 0 vote. Here's a pic of them after the vote https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-26304842. They look quite cheerful to me and not just forced by the CIA to do it.
