[...] Two years and one week ago: confusion as the Orange revolution kicked off, as supporters of Viktor Yushchenko – now the president – took to the streets to protest apparent vote-rigging by the then prime minister Viktor Yanukovich (now prime minister again following a compromise deal earlier this year).

Erm, a small correction.
Ukraine doesn't have nukes, not any more.

As of 2:30, when someone I know had to leave the center, things were peaceful and the Yushchenko supporters were being very careful that no potential agitators were entering the tent/rally area.

"The BBC's 10 O'Clock News hasn't mentioned it, and is referring to events as a "revolt" by opposition supporters."

That bugs me. Revolt? It's been more like an energetic, but peaceful rally.
