Lots of pretty girls getting spanked in public to protest against something?
This went through the international press yesterday:
Activists of FEMEN, a Ukrainian women movement defending women's conditions in the society, perform during their protest action in front of Ukraine's Education Ministry in Kiev to denounce sexual harassment of students by some university professors in the country.
There are quite a number of pictures for this, but they were spread all over the web. I've collected them all in one place!
thanks to joefreckles for reporting this
BIG Update
Due to my 1337 Russian skills and the ability to copy and paste the right Russian kyrillian letters in search engines I was actually able to find a video of the whole scene on a Russian page.
I have re-uploaded it to Youtube for you

thanks Ilian!
But I am just not sure about these pictures. Do you think Chross that there is a hidden agenda in a public performance like this?
All the best,

One wonders what their real agenda is -- boosting tourism to the Ukraine perhaps!
Great find, btw, Chross. I went looking for these as well and didn't find them. Perhaps sometime you could share your search techniques or where you learned them. Thanks!

But in case that doesn't work, here are the pieces to put together:

I cannot work out how to dowload it, but maybe Chross's skills can be usefully employed.
So when's the next flight to Ukraine leave??

This one I can't even get to load, but it is clear from the ident image (the cute girl with flowers in her hair and the heart pattern panties) that it is coverage of the event, but needless to say I can't be sure whether it contains any spanking footage.
Chross, we need your technical expertise!
We have a group of great looking young women, all dressed in miniskirts, all getting spanked in public, and they're PROTESTING SOMETHING? What is the public supposed to be reacting to? I don't understand what they are protesting. They are just putting on a good show.
Cheers,

I have found some more photos here:
http://www.ukrainebusiness.com.ua/news/287/FEMEN-takes-a-bottom-up-approach-to-influencing-the-education-establishment.html
The gallery of 22 picturs uses a flash player (so once again it needs Chross to help us extract the pics) providing some very HQ pictures. To get to it, you need to enter 'FEMEN' in the small search box at the top right of the screen, and click on the small preview photo.
You will find: three photos showing the individual spankings, followed by some protest shots, then two photos of the 'OTK bundle', followed by more protest, ending with two photos of the girs rubbing their spanked bottoms.
The first image has been squeezed horizontally and will need stretching by about one fifth to get a natural apperance.

Looking at pictures of the crowd (not on this site), it appears that there were at least twelve stills cameras and at least four video cameras present. What a lot of material must have been shot!

A pretty lame clip, most of the spanking part has been left out.

This includes some more footage of the cute girl in braids getting the second of her three spankings (from the guy in the middle playing the Rector). She really is the star of the show, I think - her name is Alexandra Shevchenko and she is one of the leaders of the Femen movement.

Some of this is the same footage as in the first video, but persevere and you will be rewarded with a terrific couple seconds of the first girl in white panties. Then we have Alexandra showing off her spanked bottom to the Minister. Towards the end there's a bit more of the girl in holdups, but unfortunately it just stops short of showing the girl in red panties going across the Rector's knee. (I'm beginning to think we will never see any decent spanking shots of her.)
I agree that different news reports give different degrees of emphasis to the spanking, but I am secretly hoping that someone with the skills and inclination might edit all the footage from various sources together in the right order (as some of the news footage mixes up the sequence) so that we can have the fullest possible version of the event.(Hell, I'd buy a DVD of the collected, unedited footage if an enterprising Ukrainian company were to put it out!)
In any event, Chross, please could you make these two excellent new clips available in downloadable form on youtube?
