During the bitter-cold night of January 22, under the heavy snowstorm, the protesters in Kiev set tires on fire to prevent an attack of the Berkut special forces. --------------------------------

This isn't a competition, it's just another way to expose beautiful artworks to the community and also raise awareness.
Have a nice day and stay safe!

with this photograph you are sharing inspiring events with the world. what a powerful moment to have been a part of.Β -15 in the snow is nooooo joke, and neither are special forces.

A very powerful photo, it has an instant impact. The crowd, the light and smoke from the fires, and the faint streaks of snowβ¦ Iβve been reading a bit about these protests in the news lately, and while I donβt know a massive amount about the situation, this photo makes me feel closer to it somehow. I canβt say that I love the photo, or that itβs particularly enjoyable to look at, because itβs such a tense moment- I don't think it should be fun to look at- but it is a very striking image, and a very important one as well I think. Thank you for posting it!

... and it was a pretty scary situation, everyone expected the special forces to move in and try to disperse the crowd that night. They were constantly throwing the tear gas grenades, firing rubber bullets and hosing those you came too close with water cannons (with the temperature dropping to -15C !!!) Thanks for your comment!
