KIEV (Reuters) - Standing on stage in a black t-shirt, Ukrainian rock star Sviatoslav Vakarchuk turns to his massed ranks of fans and asks if they are fed up about how their country is run.

"How many of us want real change ... How many of us are tired of old politics?", he shouts out, holding his microphone in the air as the crowd cheers back in response.
