Similar statements were previously made by Kolomoisky , Yanukovych , Zakharchenko , and Koriak . In an interview aired in a recent documentary , entitled Ukraine on Fire , Zakharchenko , who headed the ministry of internal affairs under Yanukovych , said that the Security Service of Ukraine reported then that Liovochkin informed Yatseniuk about this dispersal in advance by telephone . z a y a v i l chtolevochkinorganizovalr . The Avakov ' s admission provides another illustration of misrepresentation of this crucial trigger point of the Euromaidan by Maidan politicians , the Western governments , and the media in Ukraine and the West , and uncritical acceptance of this narrative by the absolute majority of scholars . My analysis in the recent APSA conference paper found the following pp . 1617 The turning point came with a highly publicized violent dispersal of a few hundred protesters by the antiriot Berkut police on the Maidan on November 30 , 2013 . Videos , photos , and later admissions by Right Sector leaders and other Maidan protesters show that the Right Sector activists occupied at the time of the dispersal a part of the Maidan square near a monument to mythical Kyiv founders . Their analysis also shows that during the initial police dispersal of other protesters by force nearby Right Sector areabased protesters threw burning wood chunks and various other things at the Berkut police , which then beat other protesters on the Maidan square and surrounding streets . Ihor Mazur , a UNAUNSO leader , admitted that Right Sector members were present on the Maidan during this dispersal on November 30 th and that they then retreated after a confrontation with the police . There is various evidence that the opposition leaders , including the far right ones , had advance information about this dispersal but did not inform the protesters in order to use this violent dispersal to greatly galvanize the mass protests , which were coming to the end on that night . Anatolii Hrytsenko , one of the Maidan politicians , stated that the Maidan leaders knew in advance about this dispersal , because the opposition was able to intercept radio communications of Berkut concerning their deployment for this operation . The unusual presence of Inter TV crews along with a number of other TV crews , such as from 11 TV channel owned by oligarch Ihor Kolomoisky , during the night of the dispersal , the Inter broadcast of this dispersal around 400 am local time , and their representations of this dispersal as an unprovoked and unexpected police beating of students while ignoring or downplaying the presence of the Right Sector activists and their violence against the police also indicate advance knowledge of the police dispersal and its planned and selective coverage . The Inter television channel was owned by Dmytro Firtash and Serhii Liovochkin . Firtash was oligarch who supported Yanukovych during the 2010 presidential campaign but then switched to covert backing of Viktor Klychko , who headed UDAR party and became one of the Euromaidan leaders . Liovochkin then headed the Yanukovych presidential administration , but he belonged to the Firtashled clan . Several members of the Yanukovych government , and the Kyiv police chief after they fled to Russia stated that Liovochkin gave the order to disperse the protesters , but they did not provide any specific direct evidence . Kolomoisky in his leaked telephone conversation said that Liovochkin was aware of the dispersal order because he was patron of Oleksander Popov , the head of the Kyiv City administration , who was involved in implementing the dispersal order . The official investigation named and charged Popov and other members of the Yanukovych government for issuing this order and supervising the dispersal . Liovochkin was the most senior Yanukovych official , who did not flee Ukraine and who was not prosecuted , in contrast to many other Yanukovych associates . An eyewitness stated in a TV interview that shortly before November 30 she accidentally overhead a discussion among senior Maidan leaders about the planned police dispersal of the Maidan protesters and that it would be violent . While the reliability of this account cannot be taken for granted , she named Andrii Ilienko , Andrii Parubiy , and Serhii Pashynsky as the Maidan leaders involved in this discussion . They were not household name at the time , but would be linked to other cases of violence later during the Euromaidan . Ilienko was a member of the parliament from Svoboda party . Parubiy was a former leader of the neoNazi Patriot of Ukraine , a paramilitary wing of the Social National Party , before this party was rebranded as Svoboda in 2004 and before the Patriot of Ukraine became a paramilitary wing of the SNA , which was formed by the Kharkiv organization of the SNP . Parubiy and Pashynsky at the time of the Maidan protests were members of the Ukrainian parliament from the oligarchic Fatherland party . ,
