A Google search for Center for Social Monitoring turns up very little, e.g. they are a group almost no one has heard of. Most of what comes up shows their obviously objective opinion that Yuschenko won the election in a big way.
The others show that the American CSM (based out of Virginia - I wonder why numbers from Russian pollsters aren't listed by Reuters?) also has done polls saying Ukrainians increasingly want to join NATO. CSM representatives also have had conferences with agencies like USAID, in order so that the US can help democracy in Ukraine, perhaps in the same manner that Dan Mitrione was helping democracy in Uruguay.
