Ukraine"s president-elect Viktor Yanukovych...

called Yanukovych a lumpen victor. "The only silver lining is that, like so many other leaden and inarticulate leaders in the post-communist world, he will surely mobilize young Ukrainians in embarrassment, disgust and ridicule. Anyway, Yanukovych is the best Ukrainian president we"ve got. We have to work with him," he stated bluntly. This is the much vaunted British understatement and refined expert opinion.

Former Polish Prime Minister Leszek Miller seems to be the only politician in Central and East Europe to have congratulated Yanukovych sincerely. He reminded the readers of his blog that when the EU closed the Polish border to Ukrainians in 2003, Prime Minister Yanukovych refrained from imposing visa restrictions on Poland. A friend in need, not in victory, is a friend indeed.
