Amazing how many commies are on Free Republic today. Yanukovich, besides being a commie and Russian stooge, got his start in politics by holding a high position in the mob before even the end of the Soviet Union. The only way he could have done that without getting a bullet in his neck back then would have been by being a KGB tool. Moreover, he was convicted once of rape, once of ripping earrings off of women while the earrings were still in their ears. The KBG hushed up two other of his convictions. His mob nickname has "Ham", which is a Russian used to refer to a completely uncultured lout.
Reports now that Russia is sending troops to Ukraine, including Spetznaz, according to Ukrainian newspaper Korrespondent. Also reports that the Ukrainian diplomatic corps in US have repudiated Yanukovich and the fraud that supposedly elected him.

Although I am unaware of the events in Ukraine I suspected much of what you say. I wondered as well what the Soros cabal is up to in Ukraine.
