A pile of crumpled newspapers lay in the corner of our shitty elevator today. Not even newspapers, but those free ad things, the “spam” that’s being regularly delivered to our mailboxes.
I glanced at them – and then again, more carefully. I had just voted for Tymoshenko – and now I was seeing her name, [...]

Here:
At least two more people in our extended family have voted for Yulia, and at least five – for Yushchenko/Lutsenko.
I’m too busy/lazy/exhausted to “report” on the rest, as well as on the exit poll and preliminary results. The latter are available elsewhere.
The turnout has been kind of low, it looks like.

Three more cab/gypsy cab driver stories.

The bastards have occupied Mariinsky Park again.
