Since his trip to the capital to join the EuroMaidan Revolution in early December, Mykhailo Havryliuk’s rise to fame has been rapid.

First he became a hero of the revolution, after a video leaked in which Havryliuk, stripped bare in sub-zero temperatures, is being taunted by Berkut riot police. The video was crucial in tipping many people over to the side of the revolution, which eventually ousted former President Viktor Yanukovych.
