Get this. Russian supported Yanukovych (with help of Putin) rigged the election. (Facts supported by Western observers.) Overhwelming indication that people (not a mob) voted for pro-western Yushchenko. It is not "democracy", it is old Soviet style "voting" = cheating, trying to keep Ukraine in remaking of the Soviet empire that Putin is trying to resurect. They succeeded in Belarus, they need another big chunk - Ukraine.
Old communists do not want to give up, they change their name to "democrats" but doing it old ways.
Oh I get what you're saying.
I just don't get how it's 'democracy'.
