Shooting of Maidan Protesters From Maidan-Controlled Locations: Video Appendix C

This 3 minute-long online video appendix shows shooting from directions of Maidan-controlled buildings and areas in directions of Maidan protesters during the Maidan massacre in Kyiv in Ukraine on February 20, 2014 and a massacre of Maidan protesters in Khmelnytskyi on February 19, 2014. The bullet trajectories are made clearly apparent by means of the latent content analysis of well-known videos of these massacres. The latent content analysis of the videos with help of slow motion and zooming along with photos of these bullet holes visually shows trajectories of bullets from Maidan-controlled buildings and areas located on the side and in the back of the protesters, while the police was on the ground level in front of them. The latent content analysis reveals the bullet impact points, their sequence, and vertical and horizontal directions. It visually shows for the first time flying bullets, debris, and bullet casings in the videos at the same time when these videos filmed killing and wounding of many Maidan protesters in the same spots. This video appendix is created from brief segments of videos and from photos for research purposes to illustrate findings of the academic studies of the Maidan massacre (Katchanovski, 2015, 2017/2018). Various segments of these videos were shown to estimated several hundred million people by major television networks in at least several dozen countries, including Ukraine, the US, the Canada, Germany, France, Poland, Italy, Russia, and Japan, and on various websites and social media sites. These videos were presented by the Ukrainian and Western media and the official investigation in Ukraine as evidence that the protesters were massacred by the Berkut police. The content analysis findings are consistent with results of forensic medical examinations, which were made public during the Maidan massacre trial and which revealed that the absolute majority of killed and wounded protesters were shot from top and side or back directions. They are also consistent with videos of “snipers” and spotters in these buildings, and with military prosecutor office investigation finding that a 71-old female protester was killed and a number of other protesters in Khmelnytskyi were wounded from the Security Service of Ukraine headquarters veranda, when it was occupied by Maidan protesters (see video appendix A). Similarly, more than 200 witnesses, primarily Maidan protesters, testified publicly in the Maidan massacre trial, mass media, and social media about “snipers” in these Maidan-controlled buildings and areas. In particular, 40 wounded protesters testified publicly about being shot from these locations and about “snipers” there (see video appendix B). The official investigation denies that there were any “snipers” in these buildings. Ivan Katchanovski (2015). The “Snipers’ Massacre” on the Maidan in Ukraine.
