GETTING PORTFOLIOS IN THE RIGHT PLACES IS THE MAIN THING / CONFIDENTLY HEADED FOR THE PRESIDIUM PRICE-SETTING COMPLETED PARLIAMENTARY PODIUM PARADE NOT THE SISTERLY WAY

Watching politicians through a photo camera lenses is very interesting; most importantly it is a very informative process. At times photos can tell about politicians and what they are actually all about and up to far more than their statements. Unlike politicians, photos never tell lies... On June 14, during the third session of the Verkhovna Rada, BYuT leader Yulia Tymoshenko looked disturbed and gave her devout Parteigenosse Oleksandr Turchynov a dressing down. Nevertheless, she did not seem perplexed by the actual fiasco of the Orange coalition talks, probably because she feels sure that there is still a chance. She may have long foreseen this stalemate situation and figured out possible advantages of staying in opposition. Or maybe she is like all those true Ukrainian politicians who never take changes in the political game close to heart, simply because it is a game to them. Too bad!
