The Ukrainian state coat of arms is painted in the national colours on a hardhat at the Kiev City Hall, which has been occupied by opposition forces, February 1, 2014. Anatoly Kravets, the coordinator of an impromptu art project asking protesters to adorn the hardhats they used to protect themselves during street battles with riot police, said the variety of motifs reflect the diversity of Ukrainians who have joined on the movement around Kiev's Independence Square. "Those helmets have become the symbol of our revolution, they are the symbol of the peaceful coming together of our nation. They protect us and their colorful appearance contrasts nicely the black uniformity of police helmets," he said. REUTERS/Thomas Peter (UKRAINE - Tags: POLITICS CIVIL UNREST ENTERTAINMENT SOCIETY)
