Panties, umbrellas and non-brothers: who became the symbols of Maidan 10 years later

They, as the Ukrainian press wrote in 2015, are: Afghan immigrant and journalist (then) Mustafa Nayem, who with his message on the now banned social network Facebook* called on Ukrainians to go out to protest; the young girl Olga Znachkova, world famous for her poster about lace panties; poetess Anastasia Dmitruk, who recorded a video with her poem (about Russia) “We will never be brothers.” So, former correspondent and columnist Mustafa Nayem, who wrote a sacramental call to go to the Maidan “with umbrellas and a good mood,” became… a weapons magnate.
