Nice digs for a formerly humble communist. One guesses he never really dreamed of a socialist paradise

but rather a personal one.

It looks like Yanukovych is more interested in serving himself instead of Ukraine.

OK, guys, journalism is a job. You do your job and you are paid. Lucky people who are paid by West-sponsored foundations are allowed to say some truth about the Ukrainian government and they are paid for this. Good for them!:)) How can Ukrainian journalists tell the truth if they are not paid for this? This is their job, they must feed their kids and pay for their tutors of English in order to send their kids in a couple of years out of this country forgotten by God. :((( It is very easy to criticize people who are just doing their job. A teacher of history cannot say what he thinks, but only follow the current government-approved textbooks.

Not true. Only 40% of the voting population participated in the last election which was won by a couple of percentage points. This means that Yanukovych won through nothing more than a combination his voting base and voting fraud. This was because Yushenko requested people not to vote. Yanukovych does not represent at leats 80% of the country.
