Just reading ssome stuff on the Orange Revolution. Why didn't the (essentially) two opposing parts of the country just go their own way or form a federation?

Because that would've been stupid. We're the same people, from the same country. Why would we want to split up? Just because there is some opposition? Many countries have internal opposition, ie, like Russia (some of it is even armed), and those countries problems are much worse then Ukraine's.

What foreigners usually don't understand is, people who voted for pro Russia thought it would be better for Ukraine if we were closer to them, and people who voted for pro west thought it would be better for Ukraine if we were closer to them.

During events like the world cup, for example, the entire country supports Ukraine; From Luhans'k to L'viv. All of us are Ukrainians first, and our political ideologies come in second. Regardless of where we're living in Ukraine.

Rich people,which are in her party dont want to be in opposition.....they were voted for power,but not for opposition.....so....to be prime minister in Lviv region is big mistake and its bad,because Ukraine must be united and next provocations,which will be spend for Berezovskiy money....5.000 of timoshenko guys will put on dresses of Prime Ministers guys...Regions....and will do provocations in Kiev.....just agonia of Timoshenko before death....
