The July 21 arrest of ex-Interior Ministry general Oleksiy Pukach, a suspect in the 2000 murder of journalist Georgiy Gongadze, came on the same weekend that President Victor Yushchenko declared his re-election bid for the Jan. 17, 2010, presidential election. Were these two events merely coincidences or a bizarre attempt to rekindle Yushchenko’s popularity above its paltry 2-3 percent? Jul 24, 2009 at 15:08 | Comments 1 |

Mychailo Wynnyckyj's response [March 19 Kyiv Post, “Yatsenyuk, unlike current leaders, inspires hope for better democracy”] to my op-ed in the Kyiv Post [March 5 Kyiv Post, “Yatsenyuk, a Yushchenko clone, will bring stagnation”] was a libelous article that should be challenged.

I had thought I had seen it all in the last four years since the Orange Revolution, but this has to top it. Politicians Taras Chornovil, Oleksandr Moroz, Serhiy Holovatiy and many others moved effortlessly from the Orange to the Party of Regions camp. Mar 25, 2009 at 15:17 | Comments 5 |
