I heard rumblings that Georgie-boy Soros was backing this guy though and that was confusing. Looking at the oppostion I'm sure this was the better choice of the two. But does anyone have the story on why Soros wanted Yuschenko?
"But does anyone have the story on why Soros wanted Yuschenko?"
Soros was actively promoting democracy in Eastern Europe during the 90's, he formed the Open Society Institute etc. I guess this is important for him because he lived under dictatorship and soviet occupation as a teen. So I guess it's pretty logical he would be supporting democratic reform in Ukraine too.
