Okay, okay, I'm talking about funding for the Maidan. Are they collecting money for stones and tires?

So, what funds the Maidan? The amounts are significant, with various figures being cited, generally around $1 million per day. And that's just the visible spending – food, clothing, weapons and ammunition, supplies, transportation, communication, salaries, etc.

How much money was spent on preparing for this event before the Maidan began, and how much is still being spent on hidden expenses, is unknown.

Spontaneous protests by an outraged population don't last long – a day or two, until the body's reserves are exhausted.
