Well, the president is going all commie and stuff. The national court actually decreed that protesting is illegal at the moment.

Yeah I know the story - I was just trying my best to understand and translate what one of the opposition leaders was saying.
As far as why the protests are occurring, you just have one part of it. The other part is that half of Ukraine wants to be apart of EU, however, Putin paid off Yanukovych to keep Ukraine under Russian influence ($15 billion).
Aside from the removal of the right to protest - they are taking away certain rights of press, speech and putting a lot of restrictions onto people's internet access. Pretty much just trying to break any communication that would make it more difficult for people to fight the regime.
As a matter of fact, people are not allowed to be riding 5 or 6 cars near each other or that will be considered a "protest"
