Heated Language Debate

Last Thursday, on May 25th members of the Ukraine Parliament saw some serious action. BBC dubbed it "Rumble in Rada".
NYtimes has a short article on the event: http://www.nytimes.com/2012/05/26/world/europe/ukraine-parliament-debate-over-language-escalates-into-a-brawl.html
BBC coverage is on youtube:
