McFaul can't even speak Russian well despite supposedly being a professor.
I think the US has about as much to do with Maidan as Russia did in our election: which is to say not much. I'm frankly amazed at the duality view of folks here: the government is incompetent but somehow organized a coup with info warfare. My experience with the government is they couldn't organize a coup out of a wet paper bag.
I read that they mistranslated Reset into something completely wrong in Russian.
That said, the issue was the Maidan coup.
