Predictions
Background
In the most tumultuous of circumstances, Yulia Tymoshenko was freed last Saturday and made clear she intends to become Ukraine’s next president. If she triumphs in the presidential vote that the Ukrainian parliament set for May 25, it will be a remarkable comeback for a woman who supporters say was thrown in jail by Viktor Yanukovych to eliminate his main rival. Raised by a single mother in Dnipropetrovsk, in what is now the Russian-speaking east of Ukraine, Tymoshenko’s journey to wealth and power began as one of a handful of hopeful entrepreneurs who made it big in the turbulent years of perestroika-era capitalism.
