As Ukrainians take to the streets to demand change in their former part of the Soviet empire, there are disturbing protests in another.
Demonstrators in Kiev burned tires to show their anger, while almost 2,000 kilometers (1,240 miles) to the southeast in Azerbaijan people have been setting fire to themselves. The first known case of self-immolation occurred two months ago and already at least eight more have followed.
