Вона, мовляв, не дає змоги розвиватись у "правильному" напрямку, відволікаючи увагу, енергію та ресурси на незрозумілі проекти й амбіційні цілі. Не знаю, яке прокляття наслане на Україну, але в українських президентів (як мінімум двох з них), здається, це прокляття – Юля.

The legend says that countries have their own curses. Russian curse is cheap energy supplies: cheap energy would not allow Russia to develop “in a right way” by drawing away attention, energy and resources for the sake of hardly conceivable projects and ambitious goals. I don’t know what curse had been called down upon Ukraine, but it seems that for Ukrainian presidents (at least, for two of them) this curse is Yulia. Any normal person, in Ukraine or elsewhere, would ever understand how hatred and hostility towards one woman could dampen all declared goals, electoral promises and even lads’ principles shared at least by the third president. Both Yushchenko during his presidency and Yanukovych today proved one thing: once surname “Tymoshenko” is switched on, all the rest, including personal political future, promised reforms, European integration, perception in the East and in the West, personal international contacts, becomes irrelevant. Bush’s calls to urge Yushchenko to stop war with Yulia as well as Merkel’s private talks to call upon Yanukovych to leave Yulia in peace sharply depreciated at once. The more one continues to say “free Yulia”, the higher probability is that she will stay in prison.
