I was in Kyiv. To anyone who hasn’t yet been there – I advise you to go. Especially if you claim to have an opinion about Kyiv.  As they say, one look is worth a thousand words.

On the eve of my trip to Kyiv I asked my internet-kitties on Twitter the following question: Can anyone give me instances of any recent violence by extremists in Kyiv? On March 29, on the eve of my departure for Kyiv, Putin in a telephone call to Obama had specifically complained about rampages by extremists. I did not get a single response to my question. The masses of Kremlin trolls who swamp my account, didn’t manage to deliver. Poor things.
