After all, even the Party of Regions made loud noises about eliminating it during the long limbo after President Yushchenko dissolved the Rada. Of course, they could make all the noise they wanted, because no repeal was going to be enacted at that time. Nevertheless, they made the loud noises - now let them live by it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
