Revisiting the Orange Revolution

In EDM there's an interesting two-part series by Taras Kuzio called The Orange Revolution Revisited. It's in two parts, here and here. From the conclusion of Part 2:
Both Yushchenko and Tymoshenko have positive and negative traits. If the Orange coalition could reunite during, or after the 2006 parliamentary elections, these traits could potentially balance one another to promote a reform agenda and Euro-Atlantic integration (Ukrayinska pravda, November 19). The only alternative to an Orange coalition in the 2006 parliament would be parliamentary coalitions composed of either "Kuchma-lite" or "Kuchma-hard" political forces.
