For centuries, it has been at the center of a tug-of-war between powers seeking to control its rich lands and access to the Black Sea. 2014\u2019s Maidan Massacre triggered a bloody uprising that ousted President Viktor Yanukovych and painted Russia as the perpetrator by Western media. But was it? \u201cUkraine on Fire\u201d by Igor Lopatonok provides a historical perspective for the deep divisions in the region which lead to the 2004 Orange Revolution, 2014 uprisings, and the violent overthrow of democratically elected Yanukovych. Covered by Western media as a people\u2019s revolution, it was in fact a coup d\u2019\u00e9tat scripted and staged by nationalist groups and the U.S. State Department. Investigative journalist Robert Parry reveals how U.S.-funded political NGOs and media companies have emerged since the 80s replacing the CIA in promoting America\u2019s geopolitical agenda abroad.<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">Notice: <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/t\/community_guidelines\" >Age-restricted video (based on Community Guidelines)<\/a><\/h4>\n<p>httpv:\/\/youtu.be\/WBOJtMbGq6g<br \/>\n<em>Oliver Stone \u2013 Academy Award-winning director, screenwriter and producer. <a href=\"www.oliverstone.com\">www.oliverstone.com<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Documentary by Oliver Stone about the history of Ukraine, what happened in Kiev in 2014, and the role of western media and USA in what happened on Maidan.
