With bursts of noise and gas grenades , Molotov cocktails , shooting activists fighters “Berkut” , the construction of the outposts of the bags , drenched with cold water , killing civilians , repression , export of people in the forest, torture and other features characteristic of the dictatorial regime ” under construction democracy” . Seeing on TV that happens, I could not remain indifferent to this , because there history was made . I contacted a colleague and friend Sergei Lebedinsky , the decision to travel to Kiev was adopted with lightning speed , tickets purchased, and a day later we ran into a severe frost on the Maidan with their film cameras . In between takes looking for a place to get warm , drinking tea , eating sandwiches , courtesy activists. Twice God saved us from the attacks of “Berkut” , there was no protection , no helmets or masks , or even orange ” coats ” with the words ” press”, although they would certainly not have saved us , because the Press was conducted aimed fire . Two days of non -stop, all alive , scratches and no injuries , I train, Sergei in the plane, and experience with a film .
