A young man of traditionally Jewish appearance in a cap instead of a Kippah could very well pass for a Yeshiva teacher from a religious school. Yet, he is one of the most important people leading the Maidan Self-defense or Security Corps and is active on the barricades on the Hrushevskiy street in Kyiv.

The story about the man appeared on the Vaad, the Association of Jewish Organizations and Communities of Ukraine web site, Censor.net reports. Per his request we will not disclose his real name, but the rest of his answers are real.
