@BSpringnote on Twitter is in real life the American / Ukrainian volunteer member of the Donbass Battalion Mark "Franko" Paslawsky who was killed in the attack on Ilovaisk in August 2014. If he took this photo himself, it would place him somewhere near the tenth floor of Hotel Ukraine at the time of the Maidan sniper shootings.
One SMALL detail noted by Valentina Lisitsa on Twitter: Paslawsky is a nephew of Mykola Lebed, sadistic butcher of Volhinya
Wikipedia on Mykola Lebed
- As leader of OUN-B he is responsible for the ethnic cleansing of Poles in Volhynia and Eastern Galicia.

- I personally spent the last 2 hours on Institutska street. As protestors reached Arkada bank & the metro station there, snipers opened fire
- I personally saw at least 20 people wounded and shot dead by AK fire . There is trail ob blood from Arkada to #euromaidan
- Institutska street is the scene of a massacre. I am sure you will see all the fotos shortly on the internet #euromaidan
- Many people wounded with shots to the back as snipers were located in Hotel Ukraine. #euromaidan looks to have it in control now
- Met CBS News on #euromaidan. Lead reporter wearing expensive clothes in a war zone. Told them the story is on Institutska. They refuse 2 go

I do not know if he was actually ON Institutska street or observing the street from his hotel window. The photo is taken sometime around the time of the shooting. (When?) If he was on the street he should be visible in the photos and videos. Even then, it would be difficult to observe 20 people wounded or shot dead. -- Petri Krohn (talk) 21:50, 26 August 2015 (UTC)
