Arguably he's already a progressive, just one in the style of an enlightened Kaiser.

I'd wager it means 'my translation fucked up'. The original picture is captioned (transliterated) 'monakh', and 'monakhos' is Greek for 'Monk', and since Ukraine is Orthodox, and thus derived its terminology from Greek terms I'm 90% sure it is Monk. Well, that and Monk being one of the classic RPG classes.

The words "Protoukr" and "Ukr" are frequently used by anti-Ukrainian Russian nationalists in order to ridicule Ukrainian history books that (allegedly) name the prehistoric people and Slavic tribes living on that territory Ukrainians. Russian nationalists also claim that Russians/Ruthenians of the 9th century Kievan Rus and the modern Russian people are one and the same people, even though actually modern Russians (and Ukrainians along with Belarusians) have as much in common with them as modern Germans have with the Germanic tribes from the times of the Roman Empire.

See, I told you police supporters were CK fans, no wonder the protesters are as well!

In symbolism news, The Pope released two doves for peace in Ukraine; the doves were promptly attacked by a crow and a seagull.
