Fight for future once in every three years 2004 Ukrainian Orange Revolution stands out as one of the most fascinating moments in modern European history. The country, long ruled by Russian imperial governors, communist bosses and post-Soviet corrupt bureaucrats, burst into peaceful rebellion and brought to the power democratic, pro-western government. It happened after the country’s post-Soviet ruler Leonid Kuchma once more rigged presidential elections, this time in favor of his pro-Russian Prime-Minister Viktor Yanukovich. Few believe that this peaceful public uprising was against the single rigging. It was much wider phenomenon: the people rose against the corrupt, semi-authoritarian ten year long rule of Kuchma, against corrupt culture, against nepotism, against hopelessness, against 300 year long Russian occupation, influence and interference, bluntly supporting its crony Yanuckovich. Most importantly, this was Ukrainian people’s strongest proclamation of self-determination and national-distinctiveness, choosing Western style Liberal-Democracy over Russian-Byzantine world.
