Rally Write-Up

Two decent write ups of the Rally I didn't go to on Saturday. First one here. Second one here.

What I find interesting is the assertion that the city authorities were not permitting the rallys to take place. This may or may not be true. But I can say with certainty that on Friday night I saw a large stage for what I have to assume was this rally being set up on Independce Square. I suppose it's possible that something was set up for the ACTUAL marking of the liberation of Kiev from the facists, but I don't know for sure. Looking at pictures from the event it seems unlikely that something else jus tgot overrun. Especially when I take into consideration all the Yushenko stuff that was on Kreshatik during the day on Saturday.
