Some say we should not worry, that democracy and the market are now too well established in Ukraine to be replaced; that reform is irreversible; and that the country’s ruling oligarchic clans, like those of Eastern Europe, will in time become law-abiding capitalists. Alas, this view is based more on wishful-thinking than on reality.
有人说我们不必担忧，乌克兰的民主和市场经济地位牢固、无法取代；改革是无法逆转的；而且乌克兰占据统治地位的寡头帮派会像东欧的一样最终变成守法的资本家。天哪，这一观点大多是一厢情愿，而非建立在现实的基础之上。
