The sentence 'The Euromaidan was widely portrayed as a "peaceful" pro-demoracy protest movement that legitimately removed former Ukrainian president Victor Yanukovych from power' cites "peaceful", but I don't find it in the sources given (has BBC changed the cited article over time?), and I don't remember BBC and Swedish media really describing the euromaidan as peaceful at the end, with Self-defense of the Maidan sotnia given coverage.

I question the rationality of this entire entry, but assuming it stays ... it, like most in Wikipedia on this general topic, is strongly pro-Maidan and pro-Western and strongly anti-separatist/federalist. In addition, many of the broad generalizations about "media portrayal" in the West, Russia, and Ukraine are inaccurate (which is why I question whether this entire entry makes any real sense). Ukraine, for example, includes eastern Ukraine, whose media has portrayed Ukraine's unrest as generated by what people there consider a Western-aligned and anti-Eastern-Ukraine oligarchic coup d' etat in Kiev, rather than being "manufactured by Russia." As for the Russian media and alternative media in the West, they have often portrayed Maidan as an event strongly influenced by the West, particularly by Victoria Nuland and the U.S. Department of State. None of this is in the 'Russian media' section.[[User:Haberstr|Haberstr]] ([[User talk:Haberstr|talk]]) 06:51, 31 August 2014 (UTC) |

New article

Russian criticism of Western media
The article implies that Russian media is criticised by everyone and Western media is critisized only by Russia. This is unfair and inaccurate as a lot of Western sources (like Ron Paul's Institute for Peace and Prosperity) have noticed distortions and propaganda in Western media. 0x60 (talk) 20:10, 11 May 2014 (UTC)

Peaceful euromaidan
The sentence 'The Euromaidan was widely portrayed as a "peaceful" pro-demoracy protest movement that legitimately removed former Ukrainian president Victor Yanukovych from power' cites "peaceful", but I don't find it in the sources given (has BBC changed the cited article over time?), and I don't remember BBC and Swedish media really describing the euromaidan as peaceful at the end, with Self-defense of the Maidan sotnia given coverage.
