OK so we have
Yushchenko - pro-Western guy
Yanukovych - pro-Russia guy
The West is pretty convinced that Yushchenko won the election (surprisingly) and election observers are apparently claiming fraud. I read that in some areas of Ukraine, Yanukovych claims there were 90% turnouts, which seems to hint at ballot-stuffing to me.
Yushchenko's got about 10,000 dudes in Kiev protesting. Yanukovych is apparently bussing miners in. Looks like it might get messy.
This is all I know and I even doubt the validity of much of this information. Does anyone have the inside scoop??
To be honest Alan, I think it's pretty fucking insensitive of you to bring up the Ukraine when you know what happened to Tatiana. I'm sure you'll understand that this whole situation is bringing up a lot of painful memories and isn't something I really want to discuss. Could one of the mods maybe remove this thread? Thanks.
