It's so sad that America and Western Europe blindly support the orange revolution. The new prime minister Yulia Tymoshenko is a criminal. Take a look at this.

My father was at this event. He flew in from Switzerland to defend his friend, Pinchuk, from Tymoshenko.
You know what she's been doing. She's been going one by one, forcing successful business men from to give up their business and factories, and reinstate them under the Privat bank.
In an earlier ruling, judges favored Pinchuk. Then Tymoshenko went up in public, on televsion, in front of the whole country, and accused the judges of being of being corrups, bribed, and that she would lead an investoigation of this. They were so afraid of what she said they later reversed the decision.
During the fight between the factory workers (of whom my father is a boss) and their scuffle with endless rounds of special forces, police, and private guards, a group of independant ministers and policitians came to the scene and publicly displayed the evidence that Tymoshenko had broken every law in the book by ordering this illegal raid and naming the chairman of the board.
Effectively, she's slowely sending Ukraine to a return to its old days. She's been trying to put every company and factory she doesnt like under government control.
My father was witness to all of this He saw it with his own two eyes. ironically enough, he told me everything that happened before I even read it.
And you know why she hates people like Pinchuk, because they are intellectuals and see her for what she really is. She was a criminal before the revolution, and she still is now.
