Ukraine Election 2010 (Special Series) Part 2: Yushchenko's Faded Orange Presidency
Jan 14, 2010 | 13:17 GMT

Summary
On Jan. 17, Ukraine is scheduled to hold a presidential election that will sweep the last remnant of the pro-Western Orange Revolution — Ukrainian President Viktor Yushchenko — from power in Kiev. Yushchenko's presidency has been marked by pro-Western moves on many levels, including attempts to join the European Union and NATO. However, the next government in Kiev — pro-Russian though it may be — could still have a place for Yushchenko. Editor's Note: This is the second part of a three-part series on Ukraine's upcoming presidential election.
