At the first news, Yuschenko said the people would have to take to the streets and fight, while his opponent said he did not want to win on a crafted vote.
It's like Solomon and the two Mothers claiming the child. The real Mother would rather give him up, than to see him hurt, the imposter would rather kill the child, than give him up.
The fact that Yushchenko is inciting civil unrest and even violence, than give up his claim, doesn't speak well of him in my book.
