Orange Revolution. part one. more on my next blog

I was in Ukraine in 2004 during the demonstrations against fraudulent elections. I watched as hundreds of thousands of ordinary citizens blocked central Kiev. There were families with their children, old people, students, lawyers, homeless people, farm workers, many had travelled to Kiev from other towns and villages. Tent City which started in Kiev's main Street was expanding by the hour, as more and more protesters arrived. During the night I had to admire the Tent City residents enduring freezing temperatures, in their determination to change the Political landscape in Ukraine. In
the Mydan ( Kiev's main Square ) a huge screen loomed above the crowds. The live show taking place on the stage below,with singers and political figures was also on screen.
The enthusiasm of the crowds listening to the singers,and political speakers was amazing, but when Viktor Yushchenko appeared on stage to speak to his supporters the crowds went wild, cheering and chanting his name. A strong rumour was circulating that at railway sidings east of Kiev a train full of Russian troops had arrived ready to be sent to disperse the crowds.Was this true,if so on whose orders. People became apprehensive,what to do.
