Quotable notes

"Viktor Yuschenko confirmed his reputation as a man inclined to putting on a big show: to announce the creation of his bloc on Mount Hoverlia was a lofty act in every sense of the word. But he also remained true to another trait of his: his description of the goals of the new bloc [Our Ukraine] ... was, as usual, bombastic and somewhat complicated. So, typically, nobody has understood anything - including those who have already joined Our Ukraine."

- The July 21 issue of the Kyiv-based weekly Zerkalo Nedeli as cited by RFE/RL Poland, Belarus and Ukraine Report.
