Do I need to show you the history of Western meddling in elections and color revolutions and coups? Or the Western ambition towards conquering Asia? I think those are pretty well known and speak for themselves.
With that history in mind, we can't dismiss Russia's claims about Maidan being a Western-backed coup. Even if you don't want to assume Russia's side of the story is true, you're making an additional leap by assuming the Western "conquest" narrative.
