The Orange Revolution

Quote:

Last autumn, Ukraine imprinted itself on the political consciousness of the world for the first time in its history. In what was christened the "orange revolution," vast crowds wearing orange scarves gathered in subzero temperatures in Kyiv's Independence Square to demand a fair election for president. They won. Under its new president, Viktor Yushchenko, Ukraine can move toward what he and his allies hope will be a working democracy and market economy under the rule of law, and toward membership in the European Union.
