Between the Ying and Yang
Local Russian News In English
Ukrainian President Viktor Yushchenko, who came to power on the back of popular protests in 2005, was overwhelmingly voted out of office with just five percent of votes in the first round of the presidential elections. As expected, his Prime Minister and former Orange-revolution partner Yulia Tymoshenko will face a second round run-off against Viktor Yanukovich, the man whose attempts at electoral fraud caused the revolution in 2005. Yanukovich has a narrow lead, but Tymoshenko has a good chance of overtaking him in the February 7 second round.
