I, Viktor II, do solemnly swear that I will faithfully rewrite the Constitution of Ukraine back to the Leonid II model that suits me.
So help me $.
Yanukovych: Adopted in 1996, the Constitution of Ukraine, in its key tenets, has passed the test of time. In terms of defining human freedoms and rights it is regarded as one of the most progressive in the world. That said, the state-building experience over the years that have passed since the adoption of the supreme law of the land, has proven that the Constitution of Ukraine under modern dynamic historical conditions needs certain changes. Some of its norms, namely those hastily adopted in 2004, have become a cause of loss of balance and profound government crisis, and thus an object of criticism from within the country and from the international community. At the same time, I want to emphasize: Rectifying the current shortcomings — the constitutional improvement process — must in no way become a political act. It is a serious change of social relations that has to rest on the will of the people, reflect today’s reality, and define the state’s progress in general.

Once again, I greet all compatriots on the Constitution Day of Ukraine. I wish you concord, peace and goodness. May the upholding of the constitutional norms and the unwavering protection of human rights and freedoms become a guarantee of the successful development of the Ukrainian state, the strengthening of humanism and the supremacy of law in our land.

Now that Medvedev signed up for the “Terminator 2” remake, how about a “Red Heat” one?
We’ve got plenty of Viktors in Ukraine, some with priors.
Or maybe something less dramatic?

Your Viktor and our Viktor shares a lot in common (not body type). He also wants to alter the constitution by 2012 and we will see what we get.
Apologies for my ignorance, is that a bible or something Yanukovych has his hand on in the beginning of the video?
Hey, great...! And why not? Meanwhile, our President Obama is busy
rewriting history.
Ropi,
I hope your Viktor doesn’t learn from ours:)
Ryan,
You’re right on target! It’s the Peresopnytsia Gospels.
John,
I hope Obama stops short of extending Democratic Party membership to Stalin.
But now that the “reset button”/“grand bargain” rules supreme, anything goes.
The Soviet Union equals Russia (no need to mention Ukraine, a U.N.-founding member, and its 7 million casualties).
Spy rings should not be a problem either. Let them spread freedom and happiness:)
No, he is too stubborn.
