I Am A Ukrainian, This Needs To Go Viral

Ah, political propaganda from the rebels.

The problem with videos like this is that they provide no context. It doesn't tell you a damn thing about what's going on. It's a video of a pretty girl shot with a DSLR with a shallow depth of field. Is this even shot in the Ukraine? No idea. Could be a studio pretty much anywhere.

I don't know what's going on in Kiev. This wiki article is all I could find that is well cited: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rise_up,_Ukraine!

Point taken, but still the video may engage people around the world to do some research about what's going on in Kiev and the rest of Ukraine.

Probably not.

I can recut this video and replace it with scenes from Los Angeles, Oakland, Chicago or New York. Just show some clips of police brutalitiy and say, "Our politicians are corrupt."

Actually it's worse: Most people who spread the information or even created the messages don't know it's a propaganda. This makes the propaganda more deceptive than otherwise.

I am Russian and all my Ukrainian friends are "rebels" or neutral.
