Here's another example.

UNA-UNSO

They do have UNA-UNSO guys here. I talked with them and other protesters and will tell you why in a posting later.

Lampooning

The lampooning of Kuchma and Yanukovych has gotten more intricate recently.

UNA-UNSO II

There is actually a significant minority of UNA-UNSO guys in Tent City.
