    The rose revolution wasn't named after a color, but a flower!

    because they are after people with heart and not busy at work, 17-18 years old that is. Imagine how much of brainless support a revolution would get if it was called "the real estate tax maneuver revolution" or "the successful business team building strategy revolution". You would need a person who can read just to understand what this is about.

    They would themselves be promptly overthrown by the "the free-sex AND beer revolution." My revolution is better than yours! Nah-na-na-nah-na! :P

    Ukraine holds parlimentary elections today, and Yanukovych's "Party of Regions" is due to beat Yushchenko's "Nasha Ukrayina" bloc, by a significant margin.

    Opinion polls put Party of Regions at 30%, with Our Ukraine at just under 20%.

    How about girls, are you forgetting about the better half of the stupids? Then you should call it "The free sex and cuddly animals revolution", and that somehow does not work together too well, and then again, you need someone who can read. Now, if you call it blue or pink or red or freedom, everyone can fantasize of what gets them off.

    "The Free Sex and Shoes Revolution" should work, I'd say.

    Come on, we all know that women don't bear much revolution gist in them. All revolutions are done by MEN.

    According to official election results (in January 2004, in Georgia) Saakashvili got 96%, or something alike.
    Besides, it is well known, what at least 10-15% (probably, even more) of georgian population were abroad -- mostly in Russia -- working to support their families. How he got 95% with 15% of "official" voters not voting at all -- this still remain a miracle. Maybe, dead souls were involved too.
    (Of course, nobody in Europe or USA complained about this elections -- everybody still calls them "fair" and "democratic".)

    I think the future Ukrainian political alliance is not vital. They'll be like cats and mice and that bad for the national economy.

    I can tell you haven't been attending any major "revolutions" lately. The whole point of going to the barricades is an intention to score. And you have good chances too - these chicks are wild.

    And apparently Lukashenko isn't the sharpest tool in the shed:
    Bad idea: arresting a diplomat
    Worse idea: arresting several diplomats
    Worst idea: sentencing a former ambassador to 15 days in jail

    On another note...I'm quite positive about Belorussian surviving as a language. It has an oral tradition and, although it is very similar to Russian, is far more widely spoken then say Vlach, which itself has split into two different streams of dialect. If the Belarussian state desires to continue direct rule as an independant nation-state, it will encourage a diversion between Belarussian and Russian (as well as Ukrainian. Perhaps it would borrow more heavily from Polish or Lithuanian?) Alternatively if a deal were worked out between the Belarussian state and the Russian government to allow the absorbtion of Belarus into Russia in return for their continued power in belarus and/or other perks, (Perhaps a king Zog-Italian style deal as the most extreme possibility), the language would reflect increased Russification.

    Last time I read an economic journal on Russia with an article on belarus, it was suggesting a failure of rapproachment between Belarus and Russia, which is simply why i am suggesting the Belarussian language should be healthy.
