I’d just like to add that the students/people have no official support from ANY EU, USA or Russian officials and, unlike with Milošević, are fighting this fight alone. It is going to be very hard to win. Opposing parties have been weakened and slandered throughout the years, so fair elections are currently not possible. Almost all media is still controlled by the regime, so chances of any alternatives arising are small. But there’s no stopping now. I hope there won’t be any (further) casualties, but some sort of physical confrontation is not going to be a huge surprise. So far, the students have resisted any violence and any provocation of it. Wish us luck.

Yes, but the amount he sacrificed is less than a pawn, if you were to compare it to chess. It’s totally irrelevant that the guy is prime minister no longer, as it was just a phony position anyway.

Nah, not gonna happen. People think even this is a trick leading into new fixed elections and a try at dispelling the protests without consequences.
