Shame on me having focused
so little of my attention on Ukraine's 2004
Orange Revolution or its significant leader,
Viktor Yushchenko. After being elected president
in 2005, Yushchenko became Ukraine's
first modern leader to stand up for Ukraine's
sovereignty against Russia's unrelentingly
invasive grip. While I, like most Americans, remembered little beyond
the headlines about the dioxin poisoning
of Yushchenko by Russian assets, this had been a sanguine moment in Ukraine's
sovereign evolution. In the ten politically corrupt
and chaotic years of disappointment that followed, the masses had maintained
that rumble of freedom calling until that rumble
became the river that burst into Maidan

Yushchenko became Ukraine's
