Wiki counts their numbers at 40 activists in the Ukraine and 100 abroad.There are groups that are active in the Middle East that are much larger and in much more danger than protesting in Europe,like this group:

Or this group:

http://www.awdf.org/

Or this group:

http://nwrcegypt.org/en/

there are countless others in the Middle East and Africa with thousands of activists.

They generate zero interest at Huffington Post or DU.
