Sachs is lying about Maidan. Absolute majority of Ukrainians in Western and Central Ukraine supported it, like 80-90%. Millions participated, hundreds of thousands took active part, trying to be at the protests almost every day.the protests lasted for four months, from November to February, which is fairly cold in Ukraine. I was there at the time, yet Sachs just casually drops “I’ve been told they are all paid”, without any evidence.

That is propaganda

>I’ve been told they are all paid

Surely he didn't mean all the people present there are paid. As far as I understand, when you want some initiate a political change, you pay influencers, and they actually go an convince/gaslight the masses about the need for change.

So all the people who were present there might not be paid, but a lot of prime movers and the require infrastructure might be paid by the interested party.

And the masses are so stupid to do just as they told.

I don’t know what he “meant”, that’s what he said. There was a very clear external event that triggered Maidan, there was another event that made it massive.

The payment of influencers is just as a massive contribution into protests is just a speculation
