FEMEN doesn't have local support. They're just attention whores that have wrapped themselves around a "worthy cause." I don't see their movement going anywhere.
How do they pay the bills? Who is financing their activities? Does their funding come from the same source that financed several "color revolutions" in the former USSR? Or is it a Ukrainian political party that is doing the funding? If so, which one? Are the FEMEN crazies pro-Tymoshenko? Or pro-Yanukovich?
They support neither, they support/promote only themselves, during the Yushchenko presidency prostitution increased a great deal in Kiev, and many Ukraine girls left the country to work in the sex trade in other countries, the FEMEN group protested this a great deal, and Yano hoped to capitalize on this by (during the campaingn) saying he would crack down on prostitution; in essence, taking the moral high ground, when Yano can to power basically all he did was close down the River Boat casino, a club on the Dnip River which was well known for prostitution, his party (Regions) also made gambling illegal, there's still a great deal of prostitution in all of Ukraine, and gov officials will never close it down or legalize it because of all the bribes and free sex being paid to top government officials to look the other way.
These girls don't only protest the sex trade, they also have other issues, one of the funnest protests they had was about 16 months ago, Yano was hosting a meeting with Putin in Kiev, and the girls were out protesting, very close to where the meeting was being held, they were waving signs and screaming for Putin not to meddle in Ukraine affairs and for Putin to pay more attention to his (rumored) lover, a young former gymnist from southern Russian, this protest received ahole lot of pub. in the print media and TV news, in both Rusia and Ukraine; needless to say, this really embarssed Putin, and he hasn't been back since.
Since the group has protested in Rome and Paris, who is founding them is a real good question,
