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]
