Many who support Yanukovych do not necessarily wish to go back to the old days but are confused by the buffeting they have received in the past decade. Yanukovych panders to xenophobes and anti-Semites, and his strongest appeal is to the core of angry diehards who detest the collapse of Soviet power.
许多支持亚努科维奇的人并不一定希望回到旧时代，但是，他们却被在过去十年中所受到的连续伤害所迷惑不解。亚努科维奇迎合排外和反犹主义，而其最大的号召力则是面向那些憎恨苏联强权解体的顽固不化分子。对于在其担任总理期间腐败盛行，他并不忏悔。
