Some still asking how the Maidan revolution was stolen.
You can see it in this video:

at 00:18 Parasiuk and some of his OUN-UPA / "Congress of Ukranian Nationalists" fighters cross the barrier and make their way to the podium.

A few minutes later Parasiuk will pronounce the ultimatum to the incumbent president and threaten him with armed force.

The fourth man to climb over the fence behind Parasiuk is unmistakably a like-minded man.

His cap is unmistakably a ОУН УПА cap, as it was worn by the old SS comrades. This cap is important to understand the Maidan.

The next morning (20 February) at 6:00 the first shot was fired at the police. It came from the Music Conservatory.
All these details were analysed by @I_Katchanovski and his report is highly recommended but lets add some detail.

A little later, a group of snipers stormed the Hotel Ukraina. Someone shouts "do not photograph!" The press stumbles out of the way. Everything goes very fast.

Parasiuk was already waiting at the elevator. He pushed the snipers in and drove them to haste. The entrance to the elevator was already guarded.

So far the story is actually known, but how can you be sure that the masked man was Parasiuk? His uniform has unmistakable details that are unique to every uniform. And he was wearing the same jacket when he stormed the podium.

Among the shooters was also the number 4 with the OUN cap. And as it looks in the blurry online video, he also carried a gun.

In short, the snipers in Hotel Ukraina were neither Georgen nor Italians, they were Ukrainians and from Parasiuk's paramilitary combat group.

It even seems possible that the number 2 of the evening before (Palestinian scarf around the neck) is that sniper with the grey Gucci cap. However, the material available online does not allow this to be said with certainty.

After the shooting Parasiuk and the snipers left apparently relaxed.

These snipers overlooked the Institutekaya and the place where most of the Holy Hundred were shot.

Parubiy saw and heard nothing. He thought the shots were coming from behind the hotel. But there could be a reason for this temporary deafness. He had to carry on official business from then on. Here, together with Avakov, he is visiting Tiron, a tight OUN man.

Never mind the original OUN, the new OUN became a young and beautiful face.

It should not come as too much of a surprise, however, that ethnic Russian Ukrainians would rather defend themselves with weapons than see this OUN coup d'etat as a blessing of new freedom and democracy.

P.S.: Parasiuk had lied twice:
a) no organization
b) 10:00 a.m.

What would Ukraine have looked like today if Yanukovych had resigned by 10:00 without a single shot? It is worth to think about it, because Parasiuk and Parubiy certainly did it too.
