Colour me different: Yanukovych marks end of Ukraine's 'Orange' Era

[trypilla]

Excuse me, RT but can you please explain to me how Bandera was a Nazi-collaborator. Because in my defense, Bandera fought against Nazi-Germany and Soviet Russia to prevent any contact with Ukraine.

[Nicollie1062]

Russia+Ukraine+Belarus= genetic brothers/sisters. We should just respect/love eachother and live together in peace and prosperity.

[Neqste]

My name is Nik, i am Ukranian guy, i real bad speaking into english, because do not worry about education in school. But! I want to say about this video, and not only this. This video have not "true" information, and is "lie" from this channel. I real laught, when i see this video. Why America paint our post-USSR countrys by this "COLORS"? I laught too from information same about Russia Federation! As like "timezone miting", when main factor = International problem, (georgian kill russia guy).

[DREAMOFCONGO]

fuckin crazy bitch timoshenko and necrophil yuschenko!!!!

[info4today]

Юля мы тебя любим!!! и верим в свою Украину !!!

[BringBackMy90s]

orange fools

[witdex]

"RussiaToday" - is a primitive propaganda machine. Even wikipedia knows that ))

[hectorbolshevik]

Funny that almost 6 years ago Ukraine nearly decended into Civil War over the president election, yet now Yanukovych, who they scrapped in favor of Yushchenko, now has that seat. How times change.

[woody270882]

The fact is that Yanukovych was elected a president with votes of Russians living in the east and in the south. This is a real shame. Russians chose the president of Ukraine :-)) You will never become an independent state. By choosing Yanukovych as a president you may forget about any integration with European Union and NATO for many years because you chose to integrate with Russia. I didn't like Yuschenko because he glorified Stepan Bandera but I appreciate him for trying to unify the country

[woody270882]

What is going to happen with all previous national policies? Close relationship with NATO, peacekeeping missions, no russian military bases in Ukraine? You had a chance to break Russian military dominance in Ukraine but now it seems that everything is over. Today I read in the news that Yanukovych will allow Russian fleet to remain in Crimea after 2017. This is a disastrous decision for Ukrainians. How you want to be independent if you provide a military base for Russia on your own land.

[giltedged2]

After 5 years of absolute disaster culiminating in the promotion of Bandera as hero - a man, who for no apparent reason, enjoyed killing Jews, Poles, Russians and Ukrainians, till he got his comeuppance - Ukraine can breathe again.

[464Dstrop]

Ukrainian legitimately elected President Yuschenko helped to nationalize Ukrainians and expose the Genocide and Mass Murder by Starvation by Russian Communists! He is a great President! Stepan Bandera was also a great hero who YOU RUSSIANS don't like because all he did was go against COMMUNIST RUSSIANS and try to free an enslaved Ukraine! Read the book, "EXECUTION BY HUNGER~THE HIDDEN HOLOCAUST" BY Miron Dolot, where millions of Ukrainians were intentionally starved by RUSSIAN BOLESHEVIK JEWS

[giltedged2]

I am not a Russian. Bandera just killed people Jews, Poles, Russians and Ukrainians. If huge numbers of Russians and other non-Ukrainians died it would be silly to call it genocide though it was definitely murder.

And people in Lviv should live off what they themselves produce not what East Ukraine produces.

Ukrainians, Russians, Carpathians, Byelorussians have more in common with each other than they have with Americans and Turks.

Let's wish Ukraine well after 5 years of despair.

[giltedged2]

As a Southern European I've always wondered what difference there is between Ukrainians, Russians and Byelorussins. To me the more they are united the better they can withstand today's dangers ie Islamisation, Commercialisation of everthing and supine politically correct arse-holes.

[mer3abec]

5 years of political bla bla bla, promoting of nacizm, deviding of people, cryme, huge lvl of coruption. Thats all what oranges done. And final - Stepan Bandera ukranian national hero. Man who killed handred thouthends ppl during ww2. Nazi cryminal.

[FireFlyF111]

Ukraine can't accomplish anything without USA and the EU. Russia will simply fuck Ukraine in the ass now.

[rusgreek]

Do you even know what communism is? Or do you think that all pro Russian people are communist? Ukraine was trieng to work with west fo the past 5 years and it got us nowhere, Ukraine is much much better of with Russia.

[JackRoller008]

Good luck with Russia. Its not going work. Yushenko fucked up by not doing anything productive with the west. I hope Russia does not stop the gas flow again. They will just use Ukraine and fuck the country in the corn hole.

[rusgreek]

Ukraine's economy depends for 70% on Russia, enough said.

Do you know why Russia stopped the gas flow? I'm actually curious to hear your version.

[ikogeorg]

GREAT go Ukraine now only Georgia must take the example of Ukraine

[FireFlyF111]

@ikogeorg - Ukraine is now on a one way track to absolute poverty.

[seseljsrs]

The Oranges were rotten,

and just how much is reflected only in part by the poll numbers.

The Oranges threw so much IMF money into buying/extorting votes and the result is they only lost by a small percentage.

So once again, what's the argument in favour of the 2nd time lucky voting system? It's been proven time and time again in "developing democrazys" that 1st round numbers are only important to oligarchs and foreign agents calculating how much more cash is needed to steal elections.

[Flankymanga]

True.... if there would be only one round.... it would be so much decisive and tons of money could be saved by not organizing another round. Even though you would not be able to say that the candidate that won have majority of national support.

[seseljsrs]

Ukraine is just the latest example. My accusations are based on long experience in Serbia.

Again, I don't see why anyone should be troubled by whether or not a candidate can claim to have 50% + 1, especially when the process is plagued by vote fixing/buying/extorting. It's a criticism anyone can, and always do, make of 1-round elections, but not surprisingly, those countries usually end up somehow muddling through for years without having to repeat them.

[Sismiques]

Russia allways wins !!!

Blue revolution against NWO !!!

Greeting from small Russia !

[elucidative]

George Soros was behind the Orange Revolution. Bolcheviks killed 10 million Ukrainians by starvation, how did that pig even get the orange BS started in the first place. I'm glad it is a failure, but it will not be the last we heard of these liars.

[MrTouchShriek]

It is a popular misconception in the West that democracy and things that we enjoy like "freedom of speech" or "freedom of the press" are all that important or desired in Eastern Europe and in parts of Asia. The "good of the state" and basic necessities of survival are far more important thanb such sentiments in these locations, and that is unlikely to change any time soon. This is essentially a cultural difference.

[thegreendestiny]

Ukraine was fool enough to want a taste of it. It got exactly the opposite. Stupid people, pathetic country it became.

[MrTouchShriek]

I would argue corruption and the ego of leadership brought about the majority of Ukraine's problems, as it so often does. Canada enjoys a significantly freer society than does most of Eastern Europe and has not collapsed in such a spectacular manner.

[mattlewis66]

Let us then wait and see how the new President and his Government does. Let us see how Russia deals with this new President. Let us weep for we may now be witnessing the end of the struggle for democracy and freedom in the Ukraine and the end of hope for the same in Russia.

[thegreendestiny]

So you mean, to say you want Russia and Ukraine to copy the same democracy that the Western world has? It will never happen like that. Take note, "democracy" was introduce less than 20 yrs ago. You can not expect them to have the same level as the West by now. Let them evolve on their own because if everyone forces it, then it's going to be a big problem.

[mattlewis66]

@thegreendestiny I don't disagree much with what you say, but at some point you have to make the struggle, like getting rid of a bad habit, and I fear that the new President's Putin-leaning plans may hinder the struggle. I suppose one good thing is that Ukraine apparently had a fair election. Now maybe Russia can try the same.

[thegreendestiny]

So you think Russia's elections were not fair? I don't think so. Putin and Medvedev's popularity is a product of their actions, positions and platforms. Just because it's it's a landslide victory doesn't mean there was lack of fairness and transparency. How else can they have that high level of approval.

[eldubioso]

By silencing their critics - putting them in mental institutions, hunting "accidents," murder for hire, etc. Read your newspapers, or better yet, read foreign newspapers.

[mattlewis66]

I do recall that the international election monitors were detained at the border.

[njchampnj]

@thegreendestiny Let me explain to you how Russian elections aren't fair. There is no media transparency. Media agents are regularly intimidated, beaten, or killed for expressing opposition views. Opposition candidates and supporters are treated similarly. Financial supporters of opposition and dissent are also treated this way or imprisoned, like with Khodorkovsky. Putin, and by default Medvedev, now have the power to choose all governors and mayors, establishing one party hegemony.

[xMaXiMuSx]

@njchampnj

Khorodovsky is SCUM of all SCUM.. Can't blame the KGB for arresting pieces of $hits like Caspraov who are financed by western corporations.. When you have a leader like Putin the rest is not relevant.

[eldubioso]

Bandera as a "Nazi War Lord" shows RT's historical inaccuracies and propagation of lies. Bandera is a national hero of Ukraine for fighting for its independence, which I know riles all Russian chauvinists. This report mixes news with lies and here you have it - the Kremlin spin. We can expect to see more attacks like this on Ukrainian political development from Russia. The Orange idealism inspired but the lack of human integrity and Russian interference damned the experiment from the start.

[thegreendestiny]

It was really damned from the start because it simply was un-Ukrainian.

[eldubioso]

How so? Is Yanuk another failed experiment or do you feel that Ukraine is about to see a renaissance? Why or why not? What do you hope to see for Ukraine in the next few years?

[thegreendestiny]

Because the so-called revolution was but a facade to have Ukraine turn its back against Russia. They were propagating a phony independence that was vague in nature. Years later, it turns out that the empowered leaders of that revolt signed for Ukraine to become a dumping ground for Nuclear wastes and host of NATO missile systems. Just look at how broke the country is now.

[eldubioso]

The independence was real, the people leading it were fake. The economic collapse came as a result of speculation and currency manipulation by the National Bank of Ukraine and the ill advised Yush and Chairman Stelmakh in controlling inflation. The devalued hryvnia was an economic disaster that they may have even profited from. And you ration that to be pro-Russian is to be pro-Ukrainian? Something is amiss in your assessment.

[thegreendestiny]

Yes, in a way, being pro-Russian is to be pro-Ukrainian. It doesn't necessarily mean being a lapdog of Russia. How many ethnic Russians are there exactly in Ukraine? A very significant part of the population. So to be pro- of a major ethnicity is being helpful to the country. There are a lot of being pros- Ukraine should be and it should not limit their struggle for progress.

[eldubioso]

Those ethnic Russians (20 %) are in Ukraine because it is better for them there than in Russia. So if they don't like it, they can always go back to Russia. They're in Ukraine, not little Russia. What about Ukrainians in Russia? They are a silent majority, or rather a neglected one. Is it right for Russians to stymie Ukrainians who live there? What kind of progress are we talking about?

[thegreendestiny]

You obviously have no idea if what Ukraine-Russia history is. A little history-reading can actually save you some embarrassment. Those ethnic Russians did not go there because they wanted to flee Russia. They've been there for centuries. Crimea for example, being given to Ukraine was an obvious mistake during the post-Soviet demarcation.

[thegreendestiny]

By the way, Eastern Ukraine and Crimea, predominantly Russian regions enjoys are the most developed areas of Ukraine, economically and culturally.

[eldubioso]

So you say they are remnants of an invading force? They're still here for some reason. But it's not their homeland, they're lost. Russia is north and to the east, keep moving. Ask the Tatars in Crimea who owns the land. Of course, you'll have to ask in Ukrainian. The Donbas is no cultural mecca of Ukraine. What is this place known for? Factories, mines and pollution. Stop trying to re-educate with revisionist propaganda. You are simply absurd.

[Sismiques]

Most people in Ukraine are Russian,you don't have to be from the RSFSR-Russian Federation to be Russian.

[eldubioso]

Wrong. If you are Russian, you have to identify yourself as such. A Ukrainian will never say he is Russian, just as a Russian will never say he is Ukrainian. Two different languages, cultures and identities. Only 20% in Ukraine identify themselves as Russian. Check the census.

[Sismiques]

Ебат ти пизда,украински ето Рус!!!)))))))))

[Sismiques]

Ukrainians,Muscovites,Belarusi­ans,all Rus!

[RussianDefender100]

Different culture, language and identity ??? LOL

at the worthless ignorant anglo suckson trash

Both Eatsern Slavic, originated in same land

in Kievan Rus.

[RussianDefender100]

your an idiot, because if you know Crimea history it has been absorbed by many nationalities and tribes, Scythians, Khazars, Tatars, Russian , Ukrainians for centuries and if you think you need to go back to your homeland ? why not go back to EuroGarbage EU ???

Disnt you know USA was a colony from The native American Peoples that one is a FACT

[ComradePatriot]

Yulia Tymoshenko will move to the USA and get a new job making porn in Los Angeles getting gang-banged by a bunch of black men.

[mattlewis66]

@ComradePatriot Even if you dislike Timoshenko, if you truly love Ukraine you would never write such vile filthy things. I wonder if you told your mother and grandmother what you wrote here how they would react.

[goldenarms12]

Nah she's too busy sucking off George Soros my friend...lets just hope that Ukraine and Russia become the Venezuela of Latin America or the Iran of the Middle East...moving our world from the Nato-Anglo-Capitalist World to a multipolar world...frankly I dont know who can still frankly believe in "free-market" after the global crisis, which was just based on banks lending consumers with basically fabricated money (derivatives),

[Gambinotubee]

Good news !

Greeting from Serbia !!!

Long live Russia !!!

[BITARTEN]

This is how the UE and the western bankers treat their sheep countries: ECONOMIC MISERY.

Democracy? jajaja. You fool and stupid people.

[arkatub]

yulia is hot

[BITARTEN]

she is a VAMPIRE

[Killazer]

Europe and the US is supporting Yanukovich victory and the Russians still cant get him elected past Timoshenko. Russia is hopeless if they fail to get Yanukovich in Ukraine with the support of Europe and the US.

[Flankymanga]

First of all EU is just observing, while America would still like to have its Yushchenko and his wife CIA agent take presidential palace. Timoshenko is a woman that have no obstacles to sign anything with anyone as long as he pays the most. Yanukovich is pro-russian and Russia is interrested in Ukraine economically thats why Timoshenko was seen as a possible Russian partner in the Ukraine as well. US and EU would not invest into Ukraine much. Russia has much more to offer.

[SamuelCyrus]

CIA Agent. Right. How Orwellian Newspeak of you. KGB. At least they don't waste time with waterboarding but go straight for the throat like they have been doing to their people and their neighboring countries for millenia. Live Free or Die you baturds.

[Flankymanga]

Ah a cold war rhetoric... mister please wake up. Cold war is over....

[RussianDefender100]

your wrong, any leader in Ukraine is better than

Yuschenko, all western liberlas have been making

vague reports about Yanukovych to stir away from its failed Orange Crap, Yanukovych is from eastern Ukraine

where Russian is dominant language.

[xXDamonDXx]

first

[Neillil411]

Come on guys!

Everybody know Ukraine is Weak.

It's a "Road Apple", a "Sitting Duck"!

It's time to put the Hurt on Ukraine.

Now let's get back to the game.

[freetime0517]

"Goodbye, orange crap, CIA puppets and Nazi bandera scum, this is NOT YOUR country already.

End the american and british puppet governments around the world, end the NATO/NAZI influence, as soon as possible, in interests of people.

End the endless wars, conflicts under false pretexts, media information war, propaganda, holyshitwood mind control, rewriting of history and education.

End the EVIL!"

[Neillil411]

Yes you are correct. Let's end the influence of the U.S. beacon of freedom and it's corrupt liberal ways and put real revolutionaries in charge of the globe like Kim Jong il, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Hugo Chavez, and ex. KGB Vladimit Putin. Then we can all be freed from this evil thing called liberty and free markets. We can be freed from the petty problems of what smart phone to choose from and worry about more important things like What prison camp will I end up in if I disagree politically.

[freetime0517]

"Russia/Ukraine/Belarus will begin the reborn of humanity based on interests of PEOPLE! " totally agree !

[Dean0000007]

Capitalism has not only failed in the US it seems.

[5ufo]

LOL. It "failed" so hard that u used US developments (PC, Internet, Google, this site) to post Moscow Bullshit here. It is good to know that u guys not failed in Russia;D when u will make Green Card Lottery like US? I think ppl after read your message will want to live in Russia but not US anymore :D:D

[Dean0000007]

In case you missed it the US is bankrupt. I'll explain for you slow people. It means money was used to develope a failed economy. Just because you live in a big house, with a big car, and fancy shoes doesn't mean you earned it. It means you over extended on your loans and you thought you were better than you are. US developements will be sold to the highest bidder in no time at all. Russia also went bankrupt not even 2 decades ago and sold much to the rich in developement.

[NUSRPKINA]

Good luck to Yanukovych I hope that things will change for the better. As time comes for the Ukraine and Ukraine people!

[natalyaa]

Yushchenko and Tymo were not two big egos. tymo has a big ego. Yushchenko was weak at executing because of all the chaos in Verhovna Rada. Wonder what's Yanukovych's next comment going to be.... can he say anything worse than 'here's the gathering of the best genocide in the country"? That man does not have the intelligence to have that much power.

[InTheEndIWasRight]

The State and politics has failed yet again to solve problems? Wow, big surprise.

Voluntaryism for the win.

[fishbowl4202]

Sure.... nice bullshit from russian TV idiot.

[igorvasilevsky]

Typical useless "argument" about "Russian TV", loser) Think up something new and use your brains. Cheers.

[dikkydoo1]

thanks

[von32897]

@igorvasilevsky You hit the nail right on the head. We Americans need to wake up to see what the hell is going on. NO, we would rather watch American Idol, CSI and Law and order. DUMD, DUMB, DUMB Americans! All with get is lies, lies and more lies from our media and government. We need to get rid of the international banking cartel and shadow gov't running this country. WAKE UP STUPID AMERICANS!

[GR3B3N]

Why wake up if it's aight.

[5ufo]

@igorvasilevsky You better go get some doctor for your head. I think your brain is total sick from a years of watching Russian TV.

[igorvasilevsky]

LOOOOL I repeat: think up something new, because "TV" is not an argument. Because

1) you still didn't prove and didn't give FACTS what exactly "Russian TV" is showing wrong (I assure you never even watched this mysterious "Russian TV LOL")

2) Heard about Internet? You know, sometimes people use it to know the news ;)

LOSER. You may not to answer, because you are very predictable with your only one "argument" about mysterious "Russian TV". Think, maybe the problem in YOU? Bye.

[5ufo]

Sorry dude not need any arguments for people like you :D You just live in total shit and belive your local bosses that outside world is crap. Just try to go f.e. in Europe to clear your mind. You will not want to return to that dirty hole where you currently are. :S

[dikkydoo1]

well said, if i come to ukraine will you hook me up with one of your sluts!!

[GR3B3N]

такие же придурки, как ты, на Майдане 5 лет назад тусовались с похожими заявлениями.

[mattlewis66]

Unfortunately, the Russian people are dying off. By 2040 there might be only 100million left. You need to embrace your true faith again.

[illkillyouforfun]

@mattlewis66: are you a psychic to know what is going to happen in 2040? so stop jinxing then...

[mattlewis66]

No of course not and jinxing has been banned in the US. What this is a more a prediction that can happen if Russia does not raise its birth rate now to 2.5 to 3 per woman and for the next 20 years.

[RussianDefender100]

LOL at the worthless Yank

[RussianDefender100]

Dying since when like the 90s, ??? your a moron

because since 2008 Russian population stopped declining and your point ??? by 2042, 60% of your population will be of hispanic descent. anyways that would just mean. Mexicans can reclaim Texas, California, New Mexico, Florida and other Southern States that originally belong to them.

Maybe you need to return to EUROGARBAGE by that

time, the birthplace of the Anglo Suckson TRASH :))

[UK5098]

@RussianDefender100 Crimea, 1854: russian TRASH 0 Europeans 1 . You suck at war hahhahahahaha. Look how all those little states that you occupy are causing you so much trouble hahaha. CCCP  where is it now???? hahahahahaha.

[dimitrieke3]

@UK5098

And where's your great Brittish empire? Hahaha, you can't even controll fucking Northern Ireland. But no problem, in a few years paki's  will controll GB.

In moscow you don't see many people with headscarves. In London it looks as if you're in pakistan.

[UK5098]

@dimitrieke3 No, you didn't spot the ones with the bombs either did you. Now piss off to the shop and buy some more Vodka, as most russians are alcoholics, even that asshole putin says so. ты чукча. You couldn't even put a fire out a few weeks ago, LOL mighty russia ha, ha, no need to attack, just start a fire, lolololol.

[FireFlyF111]

@RussianDefender100 - Russia will soon be populated with muslims. The clock is ticking for white Russia.

[igorvasilevsky]

You are typical dumb american moron. This myth was broadcasted by american propaganda for idiots like you. Old information. The population is already rising, so go fuck yourself, american terrorist.

[FireFlyF111]

Its terrible. Ukraine has a communist Russian president. America has a wild monkey socialist president. I think the world will end soon. Ukraine will suck Russia's dick forever now.

[hectorbolshevik]

@FireFlyF111: How can that be if both Ukraine and the USA are capitalist countries? No wonder the only candidate you could choose was an imbecile with a brain tumor the size of Alaska, and that ignorant, imbred, redneck bitch to go with him.

[FireFlyF111]

@hectorbolshevik - Stupid communist. Have a nice life being controlled by Russia and living in poverty. People like you deserve it.

[hectorbolshevik]

@FireFlyF111: Russia is a capitalist country now, you economist you. It became of paradise of freedom in 1991 in case you forgot. Your mom should've had an abortion after that one night stand that your father paid her $20.

[FireFlyF111]

@hectorbolshevik - Russia is mafia capitalism with heavy state control. No freedom of speech in Russia. If you talk bad about Putin, you die. Go eat some cabbage soup and play with your rubles, you poor fucking peasant. Stupid fucking commie.

[IgorRusland]

Well, Bush and Hryuschenko have one brain for two of them. USA managed to survive W because the system was stable...

[RedGunBullets]

Yanukovych FTW! the orangs revolution was the BEST that could happen to the sane and anti-westscum movment in ukraine, becouse the orangs destoyed the country and themselfs!

[Peadarisback]

the anti-west scum? So anyone who questions the west's way of economics or politics (even slightly) is scum...Tell me isn't that a bit like a DICTATORSHIP (sort of ironic for the virtues west isn't it)?

[RedGunBullets]

@Peadarisback

sory you got me all wrong, i don't mean that the "anti-west" people are scum but the opposite of that

[Peadarisback]

ah ok then no hard feelings
