What happened in the Ukraine couldn't happen in any western country because our people are generally too complacent and apathetic to appreciate that our rights are hard won and that democracy is something we should never take for granted. However, for a culture which had lived under an autocracy for almost a century (eg. Ukraine) it's an entirely different matter; most eastern Europeans understand how fragile their democratic rights are and are therefore more likely to fight for them.
