The short version of the Orange Revolution is well known: At the end of 2004, Ukrainians peacefully and joyfully rose up against the discredited regime of president Leonid Kuchma following a disputed presidential election purportedly won by a disgraced candidate, then Prime-Minister Viktor Yanukovich. Hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians poured into the streets of Ukraine's capital city of Kyiv to reject the claim that the government-backed candidate, Prime Minister Viktor Yanukovich, had won the presidential election run-off.
Ukrainians gathered en masse to insist that Viktor Yushchenko, the internationally recognized winner of the poll, be allowed to fulfill his mandate. Kyiv turned orange, as everyone from shopkeepers to taxi drivers to bank presidents adopted Yushchenko's campaign color as their own. After 17 days of loud but orderly protest, the newly emboldened Supreme Court ordered a repeat of the presidential run-off. Less than two weeks later, Yushchenko celebrated his victory in that poll. In one month, the Ukrainian people had reset their country's political and geographical orientation and had demonstrated their support for freedom, democracy and truth. The "power of the people" had triumphed - a point clear to anyone who had visited Kyiv during the previous weeks.
