OT: Old habits and fears die hard in Ukraine |
Old habits and fears die hard in Ukraine

For many voters, Ukraine's presidential election was about
bread-and-butter issues such as living standards and wages. Monthly
salaries among a population of 48 million are typically £32 or less.
Despite recent economic growth, Ukraine ranks a lowly 128th in the
world in terms of per capita GNP. Unemployment is estimated at 12% and
the centrally planned economy, a legacy of Soviet rule, suffers from
underinvestment and debt.

presidental election for fraud... there's some irony for ya :-)

They didn't just demand, they threatened. Bloody hypocrites.
