The Orange Revolution Overturns Election Results (2 nov 2004 año – 1 ene 0 año)

Descripción:

A presidential election between Viktor Yushchenko, a western-oriented candidate, and Viktor Yanukovych, who was supported by Russia, creates a massive controversy. Yushchenko was mysteriously poisoned before the election but was able to recover. Victory was declared in favor of Yanukovych but the election was widely seen as fraudulent. Ukrainians take to the street wearing orange, which was Yushchenko’s campaign color. By December, protestors were able to force a re-vote, resulting in a victory for Yushchenko.
