I'm not. The thing is Yushchenko, just like Kuchma, just like Kravchuk, has always had his "otochennja" but failed to create his "komanda". The latter is supposed to tell the leader what he needs to hear, not what he wants to hear. Whom did Yushchenko have? He had Rybachuk who is all great schmooze and no substance; he's had Bezsmertny who was loudly promising us The Great Administrative Reform and turned out to be completely incompetent in his position (well, he screwed up in Nasha Ukraina, too). And you can go on with your list. So, yeah: na bezryb'ji j rak - ryba. Meaning, if you don't have "komanda", Piskun & Havrysh will do fine. Heck, Yushchenko even beat some dust off Pljushch and put him in charge of RNBO. That's not even funny anymore. The guy's become lame duck before he even reaches the middle of his (supposedly, first) term. By the way, great blog! Taras, why should anyone be surprised about the return of Piskun and Havrysh?

So, yeah: na bezryb’ji j rak – ryba. Meaning, if you don’t have “komanda”, Piskun & Havrysh will do fine. Heck, Yushchenko even beat some dust off Pljushch and put him in charge of RNBO. That’s not even funny anymore. The guy’s become lame duck before he even reaches the middle of his (supposedly, first) term.

By the way, great blog!

I still there is some left over from those time... There is the sense of shpyhunomania in Ukraine... You may even recall that one time I told you that diplomat of an former East Bloc country once told some journalists I know, that they have to be careful with me as I am both linked to the CIA and CSIS... Don't read your blog as often as I would like but will try to now that I have better connectivity.

I didn’t mean to be rude. You guys bent it out of shape:) Now that a major civil war has been happily averted, but Pinchuk and Kolomoisky are still engaged in a takeover one, the last thing we’d want to see in Ukraine is to have these two proud oligarchs claim each other’s possessions. They’d ruin the whole election thing. By the way, as an officer of the Soviet Army, my uncle spent eleven years in the GDR. Although he remains a committed homo Sovieticus at heart, he still would love to spend the rest of his days in the unified Germany. Well, millions of Ukrainians are that way.

Which might also partially explain the attitude in the east to PoR? "The Russian nation has always organized itself around the government. ... Since that time we can seldom provide similar examples of the extra-state organization of the nation. It is usually oriented on the existing power, not the opposition. “Only when this power begins to decline do people’s movements emerge, as it happened in the late 1980s and early 1990s. But as soon as the government acquires some strong features, the population starts orienting itself on this power. This is an objective factor explaining the opposition’s low popularity, but there have been subjective ones as well." from an interview with Igrunov which was posted on UNIAN http://www.unian.net/eng/news/news-194354.html Regarding the lack of opposition in the East perhaps this could be explained by the identification with Russian culture?
