Today at 2pm, Yanukovych skinheads made their first raid on the orange tent town.

A few dozens Yanukovych supporters with blue and white flags came close to the tents. Then about a dozen guys with shaved heads tore into the tent house and started tearing orange ribbons off the trees. The police stood aside watching. The protesters made a row, and only then did a few policemen interfered with the conflict situation.

In about an hour, almost all the police officers that were on the square left for the "Vorskla" stadium. There, a soccer game started between the teams "Vorskla" (Poltava) and "Borysfen" (Kyiv).

We received a call from the stadium. Skinheads tweedle youngsters to go join them and go to the tent town after the match. This is probably the reason why the entrance to the soccer game was free.
