Two things that especially amaze about the actual 'street part' of Ukrainian revolution are complete absence of plundering or looting of local shops and that no firearms have been used by protesters.
I think mostly because the protest are very localized. Apart from that street, the city( and country ) is operating as usual. Shops and businesses are operating and civilians are going to work. The protest are mostly after work activity. That is why the largest fights take place in the evening and night.
Legend:
Red means regional administration buildings are under control of protestors.
Pinkish are regions where protestors block the administration buildings of were unsuccessful at capturing them.
Brownish? means mass protests are occurring.
^^ This comment is misinformation. You didn't post any proof, so you see, anyone can do that.
According to you, half of the country is involved in the protest and not going to work( >20 million !!), I highly doubt that the whole country is at halt. I have only seen and read about protest in the very center of Kiev. Around of the Independence Square, Hrushevsky Street and its neighboring streets. All I stated was posted in the foreign media and blogs( truthful or not ), unfortunately I don't have the time to backtrack and search to provide the necessary links.
I would love to hear some reliable information to confirm any statements.
