Anders Aslund: Euro revolution in Ukraine

The situation in Ukraine has turned from very tense to revolutionary. Indeed, the opposition to President Viktor Yanukovych is calling for his resignation and labeling their cause a “Euro Revolution.” On Sunday, December 1, hundreds of thousands of protesters seized control of a major public square in Kiev. With power thus lying in the streets, the next few days are likely to be decisive.
