As I said over and over again during the OR, and nobody believed me, this was another cycle well-known to anybody who watches the fSU. A government comes to power, hailed by the West as a "pro-Western non-corrupt, democratic regime." The new government quickly becomes a copy of its predecessor, and then the West starts looking for a new "pro-Western non-corrupt, democratic regime." It's truly hilarious.
In fact, the only new leader who has made a real difference has been Putin, who was, ironically, appointed by Yeltsin.
Nu, zayats, pogodi!
