Mobby, the general feel here is that they are glad she is free, as she is a bit of a symbol, but most young people arent buying that she would be anything different. Something totally new needs to happen. People are saying to stay on Maidan and not leave, since thats where the power comes from, people not a politician. So far no one is really leading the pack in terms of being a leader of Ukraine. Elections are set for May, so I guess time will tell.
That's something I've always been wondering when reading the news.

Doesn't she have a past history of powermongering/abuse herself? How did she gain that martyr-touch? And excuse me if that is an ignorant question, I love the inside look you're giving us here

So the gist of it is: Russian nationalists on the Krim (and maybe even eastern Ukraine) will enforce a referendum to join up with the motherland and the Russian army is only there to provide "security" around the voting-booths and ensure everything goes according to plan democratic principles, so that the "will of the people" is respected. I did not believe that kind of poo poo was still possible in the 21st century

And yeah, sorry for Godwin ;)
