I wo...An interesting and inciteful article, Thanks<br /><br />I would also agree that <i>"“The idea of a pro-Russian line in Ukrainian politics is a myth"</i><br /><br />The division of pro-Russia and pro west stereotypes are false.<br /><br />All Ukrianain major political parties are pro Russia, pro Europe and pro Ukraine.<br /><br />The main difference and between Ukraine and Russia is its newly found democracy.<br /><br />Is breakway from its authoritarian past and its democratic progress comes from its adoption of European Parliamentary democratic values.<br /><br />The changes made in December 2004 and implemented in 2006 where major cornerstones in Ukraine's development.<br /><br />Sadly Ukraine's democratic achievements are fragile. Yushchenko wants to wind the clock backwards and reinstate a presidential authoritarian regime. <br /><br />Ukraine must move forward or risk losing the significant gains and steps taken towards independent statehood. <br /><br />Its future lies in its ability to complete the transition and adopt a full Parliamentary system in line with other European states.<br /><br />There is too much at stake, to go backwards.<br /><br />Ukraine must reject the policies of division and Yushchenko's proposed restoration of a Presidential authoritarianism and embrace democracy in order to maintain its independence.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
