...signal achievement of the orange revolution may be that no one can predict the winner of a campaign fought in the glare of the media, unlike recent one-horse races in neighboring Russia and Belarus. Both claim the other will try to steal victory, but the possibility of another orange revolution is small. "Every politician has nightmares about another revolution," says Rybachuk.
