Pressestimmen
"'Wilson has a rare ability to penetrate beneath the often misleading surface of politics and discover the deeper patterns and processes at work' Anatol Lieven, Carnegie Endowment for International Peace"
Kurzbeschreibung
The remarkable popular protest in Kiev and across Ukraine following the cooked presidential election of November 2004 has transformed the politics of eastern Europe. Andrew Wilson witnessed the events at first hand and here looks behind the headlines to ascertain what really happened and how it will affect the future of the region. It is a dramatic story: an outgoing president implicated via secret tape-recordings in corruption and murder; a shadowy world of political cheats and manipulators; the massive covert involvement of Putin's Russia; the attempted poisoning of the opposition challenger; and finally the mass protest of half a million Ukrainians which forced a second poll and the victory of Viktor Yushchenko. As well as an account of the election and its aftermath, the book examines the broader implications of the Orange Revolution and of Russia's serious miscalculation of its level of influence. It explores the likely chain reaction in Moldova, Belarus and the nervous autocracies of the Caucasus, and points to a historical transformation of the geopolitics of Eurasia.

An introduction to Ukraine & the Orange Revolution
10. Juni 2006
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
'Ukraine's Orange Revolution' was one of the first books written on the much publicized events of late 2004. Wilson does a wonderful job providing a brief history of Ukraine as well as setting the context for the inspiring events.
The book's major strength is its description of what Wilson defines elsewhere as virtual politics. The book graphically shows how the old Ukrainian government used the familiar Soviet devices (e.g. electoral fraud, black PR, & assassination attempts)to 'win' victory for the chosen successor.
But the regime - before, during, and after the campaign - went too far. It was the government's outrageous tactics that largely drove the population to revolution. `Ukraine's Orange Revolution' is a good introduction to the events that inspired a nation to fight for democracy.

The deadly hand of Russia.
16. August 2008
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
As I write this review, Russia has invaded Georgia and is helping two breakaway regions in Georgia. This book reveals the interfering hands of Russia and President Putin in Ukraine in 2004. Not only had they the gumption of telling the world how the West and the USA were interfering in the affairs of an East European state, but they were financing and fradulently electing a stooge of their own choosing for Ukraine. It shows that Putin's Russia is just a clone of the old Soviet state and tolerates no dissidence from countries on their own border. It also shows how the left in the West took up this fradulent story of the West interfering in Ukraine.
As the author relates, the Orange Revolution was a genuine social revolution caused by a dictatorship immitating a democracy (managed democracy). The old ruling elite were too corrupt to prevent the population from rising up and throwing them out of office. Russia and Putin supported the kleptocrats and also was shown the door. Hopefully this will happen elsewhere in the near abroad.
I think Wilson does a wonderful job of showing how this Revolution came about. This is a nice work on the progress of democracy in the former Soviet Union.

All you need to know
11. November 2006
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
This is a detailed -- almost newspaper like -- account of the Orange Revolution. It would do for a textbook and shows the writer's knowledge.
