Save yourself some time next, and simply type “waah.”
Yanukovych was a corrupt Kremlin toady; that he’s gone should be a cause for celebration to anyone that has even the tiniest modicum of a desire for freedom.
Is some of the Ukrainian opposition perfect? Untainted by corruption? No, they’re not. They’re not perfect, and no one could say they are by any stretch of the imagination.
But what’s forgotten is that the Ukrainian people have no desire to live under the heel of the Russian boot. The majority of them want to be free of any direct Russian control. Does that mean they wish to be in the EU? I’m sure quite a few of them do; but that matter will be settled by the Ukrainian people. They are a sovereign and free nation, and their future is their own to decide.
Living as I have for a decade in what was a former Soviet satellite state, the opinion of the people here regarding the Russians is exceedingly low. It is quite fair to say that the Russians are universally despised. While most Czechs are quite amenable to the idea of trade and good relations with the Russian government, at the same time they view them as what they are - imperialists with ravenous ambitions.
Goodbye to Yanukovych, and good riddance to bad rubbish. I pray that the Ukrainian people will have the wisdom to carefully contemplate their future and their place in Europe, and decide accordingly.
