What is Wrong in Ukraine?

Didn't these folks go through this twenty years ago?

In response to two months of protests against the authoritarian government, the country last week enacted a full set of brutal new laws to crack down on citizen's rights to ...almost anything. Overnight, the entire country became a police state. This should get a lot more press than it's getting.

Reports are coming in that several activists have died at the hands of police.
