In a 7-minute long parody aired by the weekly comedy show "Big Difference" on Russian state television channel ORT, President Viktor Yanukovych is depicted as a stooge president controlled by Kremlin leaders.
The unflattering skit portrays Yanukovych as all-powerful among Ukrainians, but as a lackey for Russia’s rulers. Opposition leader Yulia Tymoshenko, meanwhile, is shown wallowing in self-misery as a result of her party’s poor showing in the Oct. 31 local elections.
