Barricades and tents were still on the Maidan several months after the protesters’ victory. Some said the revolution wasn’t over yet, and the centre of Kyiv had to remain occupied. The others thought it was time to start working in regions and governmental offices. In August 2014, municipal services and participants of the Maidan gathered to clean it up. The atmosphere reminded me of the classic Ukrainian novel The Black Council by Panteleimon Kulish.
