Here's something well worth reading and considering. Stepan Bandera's grandson has written a letter to the Kyiv Post, in which he offers a deal to Banditkovyc, in view of all of the controversy about the "Hero of Ukraine" award to Stepan Bandera. The gist of it is the offer to trade the award for the return of Mezhihirya, the lavish 400-acre estate that Banditkovych stole from the Ukrainian governmet - with Yushchenko's help. It is a brilliant, brilliant letter, and it can be found here: http://kyivscoop.blogspot.com/2010/03/deal-for-yanukovych-bandera-for.html and you may have already seen it at the Kyiv Post: http://www.kyivpost.com/news/opinion/op_ed/detail/61644/ Not unexpectedly, at both sites, it has drawn absolutely epileptic fits of rage from brainwashed sovoks who were taught false sovok propaganda about Stepan Bandera. The issue has been discussed by the European Council, Polish representatives, Russia, of course, the NY Times, the Wiesenthal Center, and all sorts of other newspapers and media. The letter is absolutely brilliant, and serves to point out the slimy basis on which Banditkovych has started his presidency - corruption, power grab via formation of coalition in Parliament by unconstitutional law, wholesale dismissals of government workers, and worst of all - bring in all of the old Kuchma faces - Kluyev, Boiko, etc., etc., etc. Dr. Kuzio, I’ve been reading your articles (eg, Eurasia Daily Monitor and elsewhere).

Tymoshenko maintain a striking position, She did better then expected in the Presidential campaign and still holds a device position in the Parliament. She is down but not knocked out. A new governing coalition can only be formed with the support of Bloc Tymoshenko or Our Ukraine-People Self Defence (NUNS). A coalition between NUNS and Party of Regions would not be stable and NUNS will only enter into one if they are able to dictate terms. Terms that may not be acceptable to Party of Regions. If such a coalition was formed Our Ukraine would fracture and lose support. Bloc Tymoshenko is in a position to force fresh election in October or even March next year by resigning their mandate and cancelling their election list. our Ukraine would be the loser under such circumstances. Yanukovych can force an election now only by obtaining a vote of no confidence. If the parliament expresses no confidence in the Tymoshenko government then there is a 30 day period where the pressure is on to form a new coalition with Party of Regions. If this can n not be negotiated fresh Parliamentary elections could be held in May. If fresh elections are held all parties will lose representation. Sergei Tigipko will hold the balance of power. Constitutional majority will still be elusive. Party of regions will strengthen its position in a coalition with Tigipko but will not be able to initiate meaningful constitutional reform. Both Party of regions and Bloc Yulia Tymoshenko were on the right track before the Presidential elections began to dominate the agenda. The best outcome still remains a coalition of stability and constitutionality between Bloc Tymoshenko and Party of regions. A return to the negotiating table and hopefully agreement to implement a full parliamentary model of governance in line with other European States. Such a coalition would difficult and would only be predicated on Tymoshenko remaining in office. The understanding being that fresh parliamentary elections would follow and reform. Ukraine needs to put an end to the constant cycle of elections and get down to making real decisions and restructuring the things that underpin a democracy. Good governance and administration and open judiciary based on rule of law and representative government. Until the long term interest of Ukraine become the focus of attention and the power struggle between the parliament and the head of state is put to rest Ukraine will continue to be an unstable "democratic" nation. Structural constitutional reform is first step towards laying new foundations in which to build a truly independent and democratic state. It should be the prime policy and aspiration of all political forces. A full parliamentary system of government based on equal and fair representation is the only way forward and out of the endless trap of conflict. Democracy versus autocracy. The eternal struggle. The real struggle is to come. Tymoshenko maintain a striking position, She did better then expected in the Presidential campaign and still holds a device position in the Parliament. She is down but not knocked out.
