The first presidential election since the Orange Revolution of late 2004 is just around the corner in Ukraine, and six years later very few of the issues arising from that historic occasion have been addressed, much less resolved. Bottom line, no one is sure what to expect (except that Yushchenko, the hero of 2004 and current president, will most likely not win). Check out this FT analysis of the upcoming election: "Ukraine: Decision in disillusion." I believe that Ukraine is the most important piece of the European puzzle yet settle since 1991, and its politics have a tremendous significance for the future of the continent.
Below, a reminder of what the last election looked like (forgive the bad techno... I just wanted a sweet montage...)
