Yanukovych’s radical march to Moscow Taras Kuzio writes: This article is, therefore, a reminder for those optimists and wishful thinkers about that for which Yanukovych stands. Western media and diplomats routinely dismissed the notion that, upon his election, Viktor Yanukovych would implement domestic and foreign policies that were far more pro-Russian than Leonid Kuchma’s in the 1994 election. Wishful thinking led many to argue that Ukrainian politicians say one thing during election campaigns and then do another after them.

Illusion of stability Ukraine could be on the path to having its own brand of managed democracy.

Honoring heroes The continent that spawned Hitler has no business telling Ukraine who should and shouldn't be its heroes.

Ukrainians have right to honor their own heroes Ukraine’s response to the recent resolution by the European Parliament, which calls for rescindment of ex-President Victor Yushchenko’s posthumous award of 20th century nationalist leader Stepan Bandera, should be this: First you amputate our legs, and then you suggest that we start running.
