Even Jacobin has a decent article https://jacobin.com/2022/02/maidan-protests-neo-nazis-russia...

One of its most notable events was the burning of a trade union building by self-proclaimed neo-Nazis. When fascists kill trade unionists and then end up part of the army, it tends to be a coup.




This is Russian propaganda.

In reality, crime gangs supported by Russians, first tried to use firearms on maidan, and also had large supply of flammable fluid.

But when feel resistance, these gangs tried to hide in trade union building with those flammable fluid barrels, and just accidentally burned themselves, and maidan activists tried to rescue ALL people when burning happen.

Only propagandist sources could consider trade unions storing flammable fluid barrels in building full of people, when unrest happen.
