Here in Toronto there is a very active Euromaidan committee (I was at their
meeting on Tuesday night.....about 50 people, most novo-prybuli) being
coordinated by KUK. One of the most active members is the leader of the
local Tatar community. He gave a very rousing speech at the demonstration
in front of the Russian embassy last weekend. The crowd loved him and he
got the longest "M-O-L-O-D-E-T-Z!!!" chant...... A Korean, who studied in
Lviv and spoke fluent Ukrainian, was runner up.
