Examining the confrontation between the authorities and the opposition during the recent presidential elections in Ukraine , we can draw the following conclusions.

1. The beginning of the campaign on Ukrainian political scene clearly vymalyuvalysya two polar forces. On the one hand , the coalition " People Power " led by Viktor Yushchenko and Yulia Tymoshenko represented the aspirations of those who want democratic change and a decent life for European standards.

On the other hand, the government candidate Viktor Yanukovych was huge repressive apparatus of the state and big oligarchic capital. These people generally supported the current premier is not the hot love nominee "Donetsk" , and the basic fear of losing everything.

2. Already in the early 2000s was marked antagonism between the Donetsk group ( nevertheless focused on the development of national production - albeit under specific conditions of assistance by the government ) and the Social Democratic Party clan (o ), which used a parasite on the reallocation of budgetary flows. It is necessary to emphasize that this antagonism is fundamental , since "Donetsk" in the transformation might become in the future of European -style respectable businessmen interested in establishing predictable , fair and equal rules for all games on the market , but instead clans Medvedchuk- Surkis may be merely in terms of opacity outside the control of government that is able to manipulate public funds.

3. The campaign premiered (slave power on the advice of Moscow " technologists ") took place in the " stress- destabilizing scenario" : that the government deliberately provoking numerous branches of social tensions, both had to stay for people only guarantee stability. The most eloquent expression of these technologies has become known Yanukovych's statement on the introduction of the second official language and dual citizenship. However, in all the state-controlled media tried to impose voters thought: Yushchenko Ukraine will inevitably ethnic tension and division of the country into regions first (Galicia ), second ( center ) and third ( South and East) brand.

4. Ten years ago, the eastern and the southern area of the thorns were Kyiv and Cherkasy region (and all the East and South, unconditionally believed in Kuchma's team implanted Soviet myths " restore the broken bonds " against "order and decency "). Today this area is rooted Chernihiv , Sumy, Poltava, Kirovohrad , which clearly supported the policy of democratic standards , civilized , prosperous Europe , not the poor charm " common space ." And in neighboring Dnipropetrovsk, Kharkiv , Kherson , Odesa, Mykolaiv , Odessa supporters of such a course was not so little.

5. On the " Orange Revolution" will write many more . Yet she showed important: they were wrong policy which called Ukrainian passive and brainwashed . Just leaders are still not able to grow their own people.

 Moreover , against the background determination and sacrifice of people (remember how nobody residents organized their own transport pidkyyivskyh villages blocked roads, which had to throw reinforcements for Yanukovych Donetsk !) With leaders looked at the first two days confused . It was found that , apart from general calls for resistance , the opposition did not have a plan of action for this projected general case.

It was only on the third day after the procedure is not perceived by many compilation Yushchenko in the presidential oath of half- session room , the opposition became meaningful. Hard blockade was imposed on all government buildings . Meanwhile, hundreds of local councils convened spontaneously from the capital and to distant regions to proclaim, rigged elections , the CEC should resign . A council Galician Yushchenko immediately declared president on their territory.

That did not stop the CEC to announce the winner of the Nov. 24 with Yanukovych. But the same day the decision was appealed to the Supreme Court , which prohibited the completion of the proceedings to print official notification of the election results in the newspapers .

6. The reaction of the democratic world to Ukrainian event was lightning . U.S. and EU announced that he would never recognize Yanukovych wins power . Instead, Putin and some other CIS leaders welcomed the Ukrainian prime minister (though soon had to withdraw greeting ). Unlike Russia , the West was solid in defending the territorial integrity of our country.

7. Results of voting on December 26 were generally predictable. Yushchenko Performance improved in all areas without exception . Instead, indicators Yanukovych - have deteriorated. Most clearly this happened in a number of areas of West and Center , where Yushchenko confidently won before, but Yanukovych's performance remained quite high through the use of administrative resources and voting " vidkripnykiv ."
