The 2014 Ukrainian coup d'état, known in the capitalist-imperialist press as the Maidan Revolution, was a CIA-backed fascist^[1] coup^[2] in Ukraine against president Viktor Yanukovych.

After the coup, armed rebellions began against the Ukrainian government in Donbas, forming the people's republics of Donetsk and Lugansk.^[3]

IMF involvement

President Viktor Yanukovych had refused to take a loan from the IMF because it demanded a decrease in wages and education and health spending. After the coup, the new Ukrainian government took an IMF loan after cutting its gas subsidy for citizens for 50%.^[4]
