I'm not sure what the Ukrainians were expecting from Yushchenko. To arrive on his orange horse and change the country into a paradise within four years or what? These things don't happen overnight, especially when you have such formidable forced opposing you, and a dysfunctional system as the Ukrainian one.

Where does the military fit in all of this? For the peoples or bought off as well?

The military is one of the most corrupt institutions in Ukraine, and deteriorating at the fastest rate among all other institutions.

Was it not the Ukrainian military that traded old Soviet military equipment to African war lords in exchange for diamonds?

Re your first para: I hoped for some Femen pictures in action.
Re the last one: it will.

I'm sure you did. ;)

You've seen one, you've seen them both.

If a country the size of France reverts into a Luchachenko-or-worse style regime, that will be a very, very bad thing. I do wonder, however, if East Ukraine would accept rule by a dictatorship based in West Ukraine, and what Russia would try to do about Sevastopol in this case.

I don't see anything unusual or out of the ordinary in ukraine.

Only a status quo of events occurring everywhere.

Problem solved, then. Move along, nothing to see here.
