Someone needs to write a detailed analysis of this conflict from the paradigm of a revolt of the Dnipropetrovsk mafia (which has ties to Europe and the Jewish community) against the Donetsk mafia (which has ties to Moscow).
Dnipropetrovsk Mafia:
Pinchuk
Kolomoyskyi
Yulia Tymoshenko
Pavlo Lazarenko
Serhiy Tihipko
Yatzeniuk (?)
Andriy Klyuyev (?)
Donetsk Mafia:
Yanukovych Family
Rinat Akhmetov
Dmytro Firtash (? – temporary allegiance)
Vadym Novinsky
(This list is not complete and may not be accurate. Elmer, Andriy, can you help me?)
