Abstract: Abstract Were one to characterize Yushchenko’s presidency in a short phrase one could do no worse than Dickens’s classic: ‘It was the best of times and it was the worst of times’. The euphoria of the Orange Revolution’s success in the rerun of the presidential election surely equalled the heady days of November 1989 in Berlin, but unfortunately, the abject failure of fulfilling its many promises created equally strong disappointments, both within the Ukrainian population and foreign observers.
