A strong likelihood is that the western part of Ukraina, which is mostly Ukrainian speaking and supported orangescarf, will remain loyal Ukrainians.
But the eastern part of Ukraina, which is mostly Russian speaking, will remain loyal to Yanushkevich and the memory of great Moscow. One day, they will split off and become part of Russia.
Although this may be somewhat of a generalization, the eastern (Russian) part of the country is the one with the mines and heavy industry. The western (Ukrainian) part is the one with the black earth and the wide grainfields.
Anyway, the folks in the Russian part of the country are the ones with the attitude that their turf "ain't ready for reform", as alderman Paddy Bauler once said about Chicago. And folks generally get what's coming to them.
The way I saw it on a bumper sticker was:
Optimists are right. So are pessimists. It's up to you to choose which you will be.
