All the polls disagree with your statement, he and his party now have very little popular support. There is a feeling here of distrust in the "system" and the politicians. No, we're not asking for miracles, but Yushenko made promises and didn't deliver much of anything, so everyone feels pretty disappointed. The window of opportunity he had is now almost over, Tymoshenko will take over more and more, Yushenko's role will be confined to what he does best, just giving speeches. I think you're right, Ukraine will have to wait another generation before it will see any major changes, just hope meanwhile it doesn't evolve into what Russia is now becoming, a nationalist bolshevik society with no freedom or democracy, time will tell, we were so happy last year, and now it's over.
