It pains me to have to admit it, but Ukraine was better of under Kuchma. The Orange Revolution was a complete farce and has resulted in a government that is communist in all but name.
Yushenko isall through; he has not delivered on his promises.
The race is down to Yanukovich, a Russian toady or Yulia Timoshenko who is as smart as they come but corrupt.
Friends of mine say put your money on Yanukovich for President.
If nothing else it will keeep the Russians quiet while Ukraine deals with economic and corruption issues.
