RE: A rare sunny day

So sad to realize how many amazing places in your capital city got these negative associations with the war or with the Yanukovyč regime. I actually remember that time. It was him against Juščenko (sorry about the Czech spelling of those names). Our media watched the news quite closely back then. But I didn´t know the monastery story. So kind and brave of the monks to hide the protesters in there :)

Greetings from also sunny but freezing Prague to sunny (but also freezing I guess) Kyiv!

I remember those times very good coz I worked in a building at the epicenter of everything. It was almost impossible to focus on a work having all those events right behind your windows. Yanukovyč regime is hard to forget. He was so much afraid of the people in general that we were forbidden to stand by windows most of the time. Otherwise... you could become a target for a sniper. This is crazy but my workmates told me that it almost happened once.
