    In both cases the rioters sought to overturn the democratic election of a president, and in both cases they did so by storming the legislature. The difference is that the Maidan coup was successful. (Perhaps because of significant US support for it?)

      In both cases there was Russian meddling involved.

      I guess Ukrainians are just better at rioting?
