Parliament which changed the country: chronicle of events

With military aggression of the Russian Federation, the shooting on Maidan, which shocked Ukraine and whole world, are investigated from the point of view of possible intervention from Russia. In fact, the sharpshooters have not been identified yet. Escape of Yanukovych and further events, in particular, the reformatting of the parliamentary majority, the 2004 Constitution, new government, and, actually, the regaining of the subjectivity by the Verkhovna Rada, which basically became the unique legitimate state authority during these difficult period, have drastically changed the society, the political elite and the world on the whole.
