What is the "Orange Revolution"?

The "Orange Revolution," so named for the color of the "Our Ukraine" political party, was a grass-roots uprising of the Ukrainian populace to protest the results of the 2004 presidential election. Hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians camped in the main square in the capital of Kyiv for over a week before the completion of an investigation of voter fraud caused the results to be overturned and Victor Yushenko replaced Victor Yanokovich as the president-elect. Yushenko's face was horribly marred by what was believed to be an attempt on his life earlier in the year by dioxin poisoning. His pockmarked visage became a symbol of the new Ukraine which was to overcome all obstacles to establish a new era of government untouched by corruption and communist influence.
