Orange Revolution loser back in favor in Ukraine By Steven Lee Myers The New York Times
TUESDAY, JANUARY 17, 2006
KIEV A campaign ad broadcast repeatedly on television here shows a man basking in the adulation of flag-waving crowds reminiscent of the protests that overturned the fraudulent presidential election of 2004.
But this is not Viktor Yushchenko, who rode those protests to the presidency, vowing to turn Ukraine into a free and prosperous democracy.
He is the man Yushchenko defeated, Viktor Yanukovich, the chosen heir of a discredited and unpopular government who would have been president but for those huge street demonstrations and international diplomatic pressure.
A year ago, Yanukovich appeared disgraced, abandoned even by his own supporters. Now he leads a party predicted to win the most seats in the parliamentary elections only a little more than two months away. Yushchenko, on the other hand, has been discredited by scandals, a worsening economy and internal disputes over policy that led him to fire a popular prime minister.
At a minimum Yanukovich could have a decisive role in choosing the country's new - and newly empowered - prime minister. He could even become prime minister himself, sharing power with his bitter rival.
"We have set this goal: to win the election," Yanukovich said in an interview at his party headquarters in a renovated 19th-century mansion here.

Yeah. "Street demonstrations" paid for by Soros and "international diplomatic pressure" orchestrated by Soros and the rest of the New World Order gang, especially all those hypocritical "human rightser" organizations!!!!
The headquarters of the Soros "youth movement" that spreads all the multicolored "revolutions" is Serbia. This is of course an artificial situation. Let's abolish the ICTY and stop pressuring Serbia to pick EU/NATO/NWO shills as prime ministers. Let the good Serbs have tthe leaders they want, and the bogus "youth movement" will have to find another headquarters, perhaps Belgium. Or, it will just dry up and blow away. Good!
How much were the street protestors paid? There were quite a lot of them.
Didn't Soros pledge $75 million to defeat Bush?
How much does we have to spend?
Bump
If he wins we'll have another ally in Iraq again because he'll probably send Ukraine's troops back ! :)
