Ushtshenko went out... in order to come back.
He bacame a man. After all.
He'll be at the head of opposition and he'll be President.
I believe in it.
Though I don't believe in anything.

I've heard that Communist Party in Ukraine is gaining a lot of support at this moment, and that there is a very good chanse that we might see a turn of power to them in the near future! How true is that? or may Ushtenko actually rise against Kuchma?

As I read on bbc service today, there are 5 candidates whom Kuchma presented to take place after Yuschenko, namely Viktor Medvedchuk, Mykola Azarov, Anatalij Kinah or Sergiy Tygybko ( I did not get the fifth name, sorry).
We should know by tomorrow who becomes the nest one, since Kuchma is not thinking about yuschenko's return new prime minister should be one of the listed above....
Though, Lina, I have not heard anything about communist party being highly supported?! Where did you get that from? If it is true...sad news...

Well, I do not have an "oficial source" this topic just got out from my past converstion with my parents! So...I was trying to figure out how is it.

Plus, reading this from Kievpost "Red tide rising in former Soviet States" doesn't sound too good
**************
In Ukraine, some oligarchic groups at the core of the ruling establishment have recently made a tactical alliance with the Communist Party in order to topple reformist, distinctively pro-US Prime Minister Victor Yushchenko, and aim to reduce President Leonid Kuchma to a figurehead. That tactical alliance has a good chance of becoming a strategic one if oligarchs and communists share portfolios in the new cabinet in the run-up to the parliamentary elections. Such a turn of events in Ukraine might reverse the historic defeat, which Kuchma along with those same oligarchs helped inflict on the Communist Party in the 1999 presidential elections."
**********************
I understand that removing Yuschenko was not a great step ahead for Ukraine, I'm just a little scared about upcomming elections.(honestly)

I found this web site with maps of voting...for parlamentary election in 1998. Something you would expect which is the East-central part of Ukraine is more Communist and the Western voted for Rukh...I do not think that that tendency is going to change in the near future.
