Betraying a revolution

"Alas, the new Ukrainian government [...] has surprisingly opted for an economic policy that appears to be socialist and populist in nature."

"The biggest blow to the economy has been the new government's foggy plans for re-privatization."

"Incredibly, this new regime brought to power by the middle class and small entrepreneurs has abolished the simplified taxation that served those segments of society so well."

"The official justification for these populist policies is that they are meant to boost Tymoshenko's popularity for the parliamentary elections next March."

Betraying a revolution, Anders Aslund, The Washington Post, 18 maggio 2005.
