A Divided Country

No, not us. Though we are, to some degree, Ukraine has us beat hollow. Check out this results map - not quite the old Right Bank/Left Bank divide, but pretty close:


west solidly Tymoshenko, east as solidly Yanukovych

I'm sorry to see Yanukovych win, but the Orange coalition had trouble almost from the beginning, and didn't manage to solve any of the big problems. With Russia leaning on the gas pipe, among other things, this wasn't a huge surprise...
