Truck & a Gas Mask

I wait for a green light and take a look at a truck next to me. And I am - what is the gas mask doing there?  Quickly took the photo. But I still do not understand why the gas mask hangs there. But the effect is dranatic.

Zebra Crossing Campaign

Ukraine is one of leaders in a sad statistics of people killed in car accidents. Once you drive or walk around Ukraine or Kiev you understand why. Speed limit and red lights are optional. Zebra crossings ignored.
So I was impressed with the government sponsored country-wide campaign to create awareness among the drivers what zebra-crossing means.

Anti-Drugs Protest

Here is an example that when the government supports the cause - a protest is allowed. Just not sure how to interpret shouting of "Revolution" slogan. Was that pre-approved too?

Igor on red carpet

Yesterday Igor celebrated his third Kiev anniversary. I arranged the party for his playdates. Prepared a lot of chicken and tuna delicious meals. Booked the Opera as a venue. Igor was not impressed with the red carpet and we went to the park.

Best Louis Vuitton Advertising

The above is the slogan posted on the walled area of goverment supporters.
It translates to: Clothes (made by) Louis Vuitton is a brand of Ukrainian oposition.
The refernce is to Yulia's preference for Louis Vuitton.
I think this is an excellent advertising for Louis Vuitton.

Government supporters

And here are supporters of the court to put Yulia in prison. These supporters are young, well organized and their area is well guarded. They have well pointed places for standing (each person stands behind a blue stripe on the asphalt) and when the leader gives a sign they start to wave flags.

Yulia's Supporters

Yulia is now more than a month in prison. Her supporters continue to camp on Khreshatik. Most of visual materials are superbly done. Albeit the lanaguage in them is often crude. In Yulia's camp people are relaxed. Willing to communicate and pose for camera. For all of the supporters I met there - Yulia is their hero.
