As riots resumed in central Kiev, Ukrainian affairs 
analyst Nebojsa Malic told RT that protesters are using extortion tactics to get 
the government to undemocratically hand power over to them. 

RT: President Yanukovich said he will reshuffle the 
government and make other concessions. Why have the protesters started hurling 
Molotov cocktails again, and not waited for these concessions to take 
place? 

Nebojsa Malic: What has been going on in Ukraine since 
November reminds me of nothing more than a Serbian scenario, which started out 
in September and October of 2000 with the early presidential elections for then 
Yugoslavia. The goal of the protesters who were trained and financed by the US 
government was to overthrow the government of president Milosevic. And they 
succeeded because police and the military and the government were already so 
taken over by these subversive groups that they refused to put up any 
resistance. I don’t know if that is exactly what is happening in Kiev, but it is 
the same playbook. The protesters camp out in the square and demand completely 
unreasonable, undemocratic demands, such as the immediate resignation of the 
government and turning over the power to the so-called popular opposition that 
hasn’t even been tested in elections and has a very small minority of support of 
the parties that have. And all of a sudden they
are the democrats and the 
government is anti-democratic because John McCain says so. 

RT: We are seeing some extreme measures from the 
protesters. They are throwing Molotov cocktails, throwing stones in an attempt 
to show force. Why are they doing this now, without waiting for the concessions 
to take effect? 

NM: [Protesters] are trying to force the issue. This is a 
typical extortion tactic. The whole point is to force the government to react, 
to force Berkut and other police forces to confront the protesters and then 
scream “bloody murder, oh my god, they are killing us, they are oppressing us, 
please help, foreign intervention” and so on. It is a very basic tactic from the 
rebellion playbook, as was articulated in Serbia 15 years ago and is being 
implemented throughout the world in Georgia and elsewhere and in Ukraine in 2004 
of all things. The protesters are trying to make a point that they are the ones 
that decide what gets done and who initiates the violence. 

RT: We have seen government buildings taken over in 
different parts of the country. How much further do you think these riots will 
spread, and what would it take to end them? 

NM: This could turn into another Syrian scenario. Syria 
also started as allegedly spontaneous protests against the government and ended 
up being a full-scale civil war. There are definitely forces in the western part 
of Ukraine that have always been hostile to the majority of the population in 
the country, even allied with the Germans during WWII. And it is not an accident 
that these opposition movements have the most support in that part of the 
country. The Crimeans already said they will not stand idly by and look at their 
future being stolen by these Westerners. 

Then eastern Ukraine, where all the economic and 
industrial activity is located, is staunchly pro-Russian and intolerant of this 
sort of thing. So this could get very ugly, very quickly if the opposition and 
their Western backers push this.
