DAY 12Pryvit! Sorry for the delay, got so late
last night (yes
there was some "celebrating", finally) I didn't
get my email out. In the evening the Supreme Court made
its historic ruling and the crowd went crazy. Yushchenko's team was dancing on
the stage to "Razom nas bahato
" after the speeches. There is still
an end game to be played out, but it was impossible to contain the festive spirit
and the celebrations. When Yushchenko finished speaking we all sang "Sche
ne Vmerla
" like never before. A huge hot air balloon with a "Tak
Yushchenko - Dnipropetrovsk" sign on it was inflated on maydan. We had a
few beers with Danyo and Liza (Kulchyckyj). On the way home we cruised Today
(Saturday) and tomorrow the V.Rada has it's work cut out for it drafting the new
law defining the re-vote procedure. Kuchma has to sign it into law. Yush. is also
demanding Kuchma disband Yanuk. Govt and fire the CEC officials. These are hard
pills to swallow someone like Kuchma, so it's not quite over yet. Gotta
go: ballet class, pee wee soccer, and then maydan at night. Day 13 begins. Proud
to be Ukrainian! Petro out. PS.
Orange ribbons on cars have been seen on Red Square in Moscow. :
