That shining large land mass nr Russia somewhere

The Ukrainian election results appear to show that unfortunately the Prime Minister, Viktor Yanukovych, has won re-election with nearly 50% of the vote, beating the opposition leader, Viktor Yushchenko.

Ukrainian nationalists are not slow to tell us of the wonders of their country, and I agree. The Ukraine of wheat farms, sunflowers, sugar beet, non-ferrous metal mining, and process food (especially sugar). The Ukraine from where came Sergy Bubka, Oksana Baiul Oksana Baiul, Igor Belanov Igor Belanov, Oleg Blokhin, Oleksander Koshetz, Taras Hryhorovich Shevchenko and Alexander Dovzhenko. The Ukraine that stood against Viktor Yanukovych, and voted for Victor Yushchenko.
