There seems to be a lot of double standards from the EU regarding elections in ex-Soviet countries.

I am just about to read up about the "Orange Revolution". Don't know anything about it at all, but I plan to visit Ukraine this spring, so I want to know about the recent history.

(Seriously, if Romania can join, so can you.... )
Somehow I don't think Russia would support the idea too strongly though.
The reason I asked about it is because I checked the Swedish news and there was an article about a visit by someone called Kostiantyn Hrysjtjenko. He says "Without Ukraine, the EU is never complete".
