Ukrainian Breakthrough

[Packman]

Can someone explain the Urkainian Breakthrough (Sorry I forgot what it was in Ukrainian) Red and White signs all around town.  I'm sure they are political in some way but can someone tell me what that's about?

Just consider it as yet another commercial. I mean it's just yet another business project you have no interest in, isn't it? If you saw one once, you've seen them all.

I'm guessing from your cryptic reply that its something political that you don't agree with.  Could you even just tell me your version of what it is.  I don't really watch TV here so, I have no idea what your referring to?

I don't watch the local TV either and I have no idea what exactly their marketologists have developed this time. That's just a word "Breakthrough" that rings a bell - commercial, commercial, commercial.

A few years ago I realized that if those guys were paying TV stations for airing their commercials (sometimes they call it "talking heads" or "news" or "special reports" or whatever) they had also to be paying me for listening these commercials, didn't they? As they weren't, I quit watching TV. And looking at boards. Moving to the Ukraine (hello, Admin) just improved this.

Ukrainian Breakthrough - it is a new, how can I put it, well, approach, to ukrainian economy by Yulia Tymoshenko's party. It is a kind of a program she prepared to the next general elections (at the end of September this year). I don't know the details - I fed up with their previous programs (and practices), but these big boards are part of the elections campaign...

Hey thanks, I couldn't imagine that they weren't political, just too many of them.  Thanks for the info. 

If anybody has something more to add, I'm listening anyway.

Yulia's opponents recently started an advertising campaign of the minister Anatoly Kinakh's book "Ukrainian Breakthrough" which he published in 2004... Kinakh is a former president Yuschenko ally who left Oranges and joined Yanukovich's faction in Parlament to get the Economy Minister chair.

So I don't understand.  Its for Tymoshenko or not???

[Admin]

Against :-) They blame her that the Ukrainian breakthrough idea was stolen from Kinakh..

[Packman]

But wasn't she offering the program and there were going to be places where people could go to offer amendments?  (just read this)

[Claus]

Yes, I also think/thought that she offered this breakthrough 

[Packman]

OK, yes, I saw a billboard today with Julia with the Ukrainian Breakthrough logo!
