Alexander J. Motyl: Watching Yanukovych’s mafia regime squirm
Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych welcomes Azerbaijan President Ilham Aliyev during a ceremony in Kyiv earlier this year.
It’s been fun watching the Yanukovych regime squirm these last few weeks. Ukraine has exploded with the Euro Revolution. The world is in awe of the tenacity, spirit, nonviolence, and democratic ideals of the demonstrators. The United States has openly threatened the regime with sanctions. The European Union has expressed its displeasure. The people hate President Yanukovych and openly treat him as a buffoon.
