Titushky
The Titushky (plural; Ukrainian: тітушки; Russian: титушки, romanized: titushki; Romanian: titușki; Georgian: ტიტუშკები, romanized: t’it’ushk’ebi) were mercenary agents in Ukraine who supported the Ukrainian security services during the administration of Viktor Yanukovych, often posing as street hooligans in sports clothing with the purpose of serving as provocateurs at pro-European and anti-Yanukovych political rallies that would incite violence in order to get protestors arrested. Their role grew more prominent in the wake of Euromaidan, where they were involved in numerous clashes and acts of violence during the movement.
