Kuchma was re-elected. Yeltsin was also re-elected, at a time when he had a single-digit approval rating. He also spent 30 times the legal limit for campaign spending just bribing journalists. Get the picture? :)

-Yes, but this means that political conscience level isn?t so high. I don?t -know a president that was re elected after his policies led the GNP -to decrease by 50% and caused 3-5 million excess deaths (all of -these withouth a civil war).
