Richard Lourie writes: The Germans lucked out with Hitler. He was so evil, so destructive and so unsuccessful that it was easy to reject him completely.

But to win nationwide, a candidate needs either western or eastern Ukraine as well.

Both are threatened by Russia’s plans to build the Nord Stream pipeline, which will cut Ukraine out of the gas trade, and Moscow’s ambition to control a sphere of influence, which will, at a minimum, extend to borderlands with large Russian populations.

Georgian Daily: Moscow’s falsification of elections seen as spur to ‘Orange’-style revolution Paul Goble: While “an orange revolution” in Russia remains unlikely anytime soon, a Moscow commentator says, the powers that be there are creating one of the conditions for it: the falsification of election results to the point of implausibility because “no one likes to be deceived. “If a voter cannot express his will via elections” or if he concludes that he has done so and the regime has ignored his vote, Mikhail Rostovsky argues.
