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

Shame on me having focused so little of my attention

00:00:04.036 --> 00:00:06.938

on Ukraine's 2004 Orange Revolution

00:00:06.939 --> 00:00:10.808

or its significant leader, Viktor Yushchenko.

00:00:10.809 --> 00:00:14.679

After being elected president in 2005,

00:00:14.068 --> 00:00:17.515

Yushchenko became Ukraine's first modern leader

00:00:17.516 --> 00:00:19.817

to stand up for Ukraine's sovereignty

00:00:19.818 --> 00:00:23.621

against Russia's unrelentingly invasive grip.

00:00:23.622 --> 00:00:25.923

While I, like most Americans,

00:00:25.924 --> 00:00:27.859

remembered little beyond the headlines

00:00:27.086 --> 00:00:30.061

about the dioxin poisoning of Yushchenko

00:00:30.001 --> 00:00:32.002

by Russian assets,

00:00:32.064 --> 00:00:33.564

this had been a sanguine moment

00:00:33.565 --> 00:00:36.434

in Ukraine's sovereign evolution.

00:00:36.435 --> 00:00:39.303

00:00:39.304 --> 00:00:41.739

of disappointment that followed,

00:00:41.074 --> 00:00:45.041

the masses had maintained that rumble of freedom calling

00:00:45.411 --> 00:00:47.912

until that rumble became the river

00:00:47.913 --> 00:00:50.882

that burst into Maidan.
