Yanukovich was elected by people of Ukraine. Toppling an elected president can not be framed as "democracy winning". The moment you say it's ok to illegally topple an elected president because he is corrupt or in any other way "bad", you pretty much admit that democracy doesn't work. If you believe in democracy, Ukrainians could elect a better leader next time. That guy, unlike Putin, wasn't trying to change constitution to rule forever or anything like that.
