Yushchenko's chief of staff, Oleh Rybachuk, said the president stood ready for talks with all parties that win parliament seats. Ihor Prikordonny, a 68year-old retiree, said he voted for Yushehenkos party but was against the president's striking an alliance with Yanukovych. "Yanukovych has discredited himself and lacks education and culture," he said. lymoshenko portrays herself as a victim of ruthless and corrupt clans, a martyr's image that along with her prowess in public speaking helped her retain strong public support in the nation of 47 million people.

Russia, still reeling from the humiliating defeat it I suffered in the 2004 presi- ! dential election when a court annulled Yanukovych's fraudtainted victory and ordered a repeat vote, avoided direct meddling in the campaign.
