The events in Ukraine testify more and more about the end of the orange myth. Alas, as one of Moscow’s political analysts put it, "revolutionaries" robbed everything down to nothing faster than it usually happens with the winners of "revolutions" such as Yugoslav, Georgian and Ukrainian. Besides, difficult economic situation, which replaced economic improvements of the last several years of Kuchma’s rule, more and more obvious lack of ability to meet government budget, failure of investment programs, radical worsening of Russian-Ukrainian relations, refusal to fulfill all populist promises of the "orange revolution" and as a result, growing popular discontent, semi-criminal and criminal quarrels inside diverse ruling command led to political crises becoming public. However in Ukraine, they got rid of the Prime Minister not physically like in Yugoslavia and Georgia, but only sent them into retirement, which has not changed the essence of the matter. United orange team no longer exists and it is doubtful that it will reoccur in the same shape. Recent allies more and more obviously turn into mad and irreconcilable enemies.

Following inertia, while they continue to declare love to their accomplices in orange "revolution" and remain true to its mythical ideals, Yushchenko with his accomplices and Timoshenko team with literally sadistic pleasure present to the judgment of masses tons of compromising evidence, literally trample into the mud the very ideals, about which they lied using pathos from the podiums of the central "maidan" (square) of Ukraine’s capital. Naturally, opposition representatives from a number of former Kuchma supporters help them. Communists who from the very beginning forecasted such miserable outcome of the orange coup started talking seriously about the necessity of Yushchenko’s impeachment! And we must admit, their call is not a lone voice in the wilderness, but has been heard and supported by some other political forces.

There are legitimate accusations against the current government in illegal financing of Yushchenko’s election campaign from abroad, in illegal capture and distribution of property using most unceremonious methods of blackmail and threats in the process of re-privatization a la "a thief stole a bat from a thief".

It is hard to describe the disillusionment of those zombie, but mainly sincere participants of the events in winter 2004-2005 who truly believed generous promises of the leaders of "orange" coup and believed in the possibility of an honest government in today’s post-Soviet Ukraine. I think that similar disappointment is overcoming the naïve consumers of poisoned bourgeois propaganda abroad who, not for the first time, believed such a common lie – this time about the events taking place not so long ago in the capital of Ukraine. The newspaper "Pravda" was right when it wrote several years ago that bourgeois propagandists lie even when they say the truth – because they chose such "truth" which in the end turns out to be worse that straight-forward lie!

Things got so bad that the opponents of the "orange" sarcastically distribute on the same Maidan (square) where only six months ago "orange" storm-crowd bushevali, pins saying: "I was not on Maidan!" and people almost fight for one!

While Yushchenko tries to find support in the Parliament after he dismissed his ally of yesterday and today’s vicious opponent Timoshenko, however, serious observers do not exclude an attempt to solve the problem by force. Specifically, no one doubts that the desire to obtain permission to resolve such crises in this way was one of the reasons of Yushchenko’s hasty visit to his masters in the USA. It is hard to say whether he will receive such permission. The heyday of American imperialism when its representatives, after the collapse of the USSR and the socialist system, thought that they became the only masters of the uni-polar world and could deal with the rest of the countries and peoples as they wished, or like a drunk hooligan in a village pub, are disappearing into the past.

The deadly military and political swamp in Iraq and Afghanistan, which Americans have gotten themselves into, and the exit from which still remains to be seen, undoubted rebirth of the influence of socialism in Yugoslavia and growing conflict with Albanians in Kosovo, the obvious dead-end, to which arrived regime of American puppet Saakashvili in Georgia, the de facto defeat of the "orange" coup in Kyrgyzia, where not only American puppets came to power, but also did Akaev’s opponents from the group of his former supporters who already raise a question about liquidation of American military bases in Kyrgyzia, serious deterioration of relationship with Kerimov in Uzbekistan, against whom was stages a failed uprising of Islamist militants, supported by Americans, all these events testify to the fact that the all-concurring instincts of American imperialism lately got a few significant tweaks on the nose.

Will the USA give an OK to their political protégés in Ukraine to go in such conditions when obvious weakness of anti-capitalist forces guarantees them maintaining of today’s course of anti-popular reforms and, a as consequence, their strategic positions, when the threat to their core interests is absent? From a common sense point of view, they should not do it, but how much common sense could one find in the actions of the American government during the last several years?

The events soon will show in which direction Ukraine will go.
