Images of Ukraine's "Orange Revolution" circled the globe. Refusing to recognize the fraudulent election as president of outgoing prime minister Viktor Yanukovich, hundreds of thousands of people poured into the streets to demand -- & ultimately get -- a re-run. The new vote was won by opposition leader Viktor Yushchenko. The result was a veritable "second independence" for Ukraine. Since its emergence in 1991 the country has always been subjected to Russia's desires. Although Leonid Kuchma, president from 1994 to 2004, had admittedly made a few attempts at emancipation, the Kremlin continued to support his corrupt regime. Now, Yushchenko's victory clearly says that Ukrainians want their country to move towards the European Union. The new president will have to remain wary of the forces of the outgoing regime, however, since they have not said their last word. Adapted from the source document.
