More fears of a reborn Russian Empire (neo-Soviet or otherwise).
Kuchma and Yanukovich (the commie candidate) want to cozy up to Russia (Putin). Bielorussion president Lukachenko has already publicly stated a desire to reform the Soviet Union or a Russian empire in some form, Putin is of the same ilk.
Putin is a hardline former member of the KGB and it's no secret he laments the massive loss of territory of the Soviet Union/Russian Empire, the idea is to get all former Soviet states in there, except the Baltic states, he realizes those are a lost cause. Don't be fooled by them, the commies are NOT finished at all.
