Note that the SOBs on Yanuk's staff joked and said something like 'Yushchenko must have gotten into some bad sushi.' Sounds like a comment your typical Russian Spectre member would chortle at, or a bad Schwarzenegger line. Except that they nearly killed the guy. They've also run Yush's car off the road and tried to kill him that way.
Yushchenko may well be a demagogue. He may be a scumball in his own right. He may be too left for my liking. But to my knowledge, he ain't a Communist, and he hasn't made Yanuk look like a leper. I will, I think, err on his side.
