“[Talking about Euromaidan and referring to his opponents, the Ukrainian armed forces]: A year ago, many of you sincerely believed in the destruction of the oligarchic power and in the return of its dignity to the people. As a result, other thieves came to the place of some thieves - more bloodthirsty.”

—  Aleksey Mozgovoy

In Russian: Год назад, многие из вас искренне верили в разрушение олигархической власти и в возвращение народу его достоинства. В итоге, в место одних воров пришли другие – более кровожадные.
