dec 4, 2004 - Berezovsky backs Yuschenko

Description:

"The most galling affront to the Kremlin was Berezovsky's role in the Ukrainian elections. At the end of 2004 Putin's preferred candidate, Viktor Yanukovych, won an apparently rigged election, and Berezovsky's foundation and others swept in to make grants to Ukrainian election-monitoring groups. The billionaire personally gave another $40 million to supporters of his own preferred candidate, Viktor Yushchenko, to pay for tents, sandwiches and the kinds of organizational details that made the Orange Revolution (and a second election) possible.
