So the 2nd round of the Presidential elections happened Sunday and true to Ukrainian tradition it won't be the last as it looks like Tymoshenko is going to dispute the elections - despite the fact that the OSCE said that this was a model example of free and fair elections.
As you can see the election split the country in half - with the west voting for Tymoshenko and the East voting for Yanokovych. This is the sharpest election divide yet. Even the Kiev Oblast, which has traditionally been more balanced - had a 70% turnout for Tymoshenko. This doesn't bode well and it will take some delicate politics not to isolate half the country and promote extremism and separatism.
