"But after calls from outgoing president Leonid Kuchma for talks between the two sides, Mr Yanukovych stepped aside. Mr Yushchenko will now become president, it has been reported."
While most of the people on the streets are no doubt genuine, both Yanukovych and Yushchenko are completely controlled by Moscow IMO. This is pure theater designed to dupe the West into believing the Ukraine and Moscow are NOT working together as one.
Sickening and sad. I feel so sorry for two very folks I met there there.

Golf clap for Schroeder's keeping the Moral Momentum going by throwing Bush a bone.
There's truth in it. No Ukrainian President can afford to ignore the industrialized and Russian-speaking East. Like it or not, Ukraine will always have relations with Russia. Its an inescapable fact of geography as well as bonds between Slavs.
"While most of the people on the streets are no doubt genuine, both Yanukovych and Yushchenko are completely controlled by Moscow IMO. This is pure theater designed to dupe the West into believing the Ukraine and Moscow are NOT working together as one."
But why did they try to kill Yushchenko twice AND steal the election from him if he really is Moscow's guy? That makes no sense at all.
ROFL!!! I wonder how you sleep at night. Are there Russians coming after you in your dreams too?
