Outlying Districts of Kiev are Quite

Once you get away from the city center, things seem quite normal here in Kiev. The only thing that seems out of the ordinary is that about one out of ten people heading for the Metro are wearing some sort of orange ribbon or clothing as they head for Independence Square (Maidan Nezalezhnosti.)

Out in the Obolon District, home to 320,000, life goes on. The McDonalds is doing a brisk business; construction of new residential high rises continues; and businesses are open as usual.

It seems to me that the whole population is not being actively engaged in this process no matter which candidate you support. Standing on Maidan, it seems like the whole country is on the move. Away from city centers there is a different picture.
