  The orange revolution - The Boston Globe
Nevertheless, if the voters were repudiating Yushchenko for failing to clean up corruption and for permitting a schism in the ranks of the Orange Revolution, they were not renouncing the principles or achievements of that revolution.
Hence the vote was a validation of the Orange Revolution -- even if Yushchenko's party was punished for permitting the split last September with Tymoshenko and her departure from the government.
To the extent that Yushchenko's humiliating third-place finish on Sunday was also due to his failure to purge corrupt officeholders, this was a case of the leader of the Orange Revolution being chastised for failing to live up to the ideals of that revolution.

 Reason magazine -- October 2001, The Orange Revolution by Brian Doherty
Orange County's was a suburban counterculture of housewives, engineers, dentists, businessmen, and veterans who embraced a hardcore conservatism that combined libertarian disdain for centralized state power with unyielding anti-communism and moral traditionalism.
Orange County's suburbia was fueled by high-tech and defense money, and it was populated by people who overwhelmingly chose to be there.
In her account, Orange County's conservatives first began to feel their oats in a 1961 fight over Joel Dvorman, an elected school board trustee with the Magnolia School District in Anaheim.

The role of that Ukrainian faith is the great untold story of the Orange Revolution, where it was both a cause and an effect.
Religious leaders, like everybody else, got swept up in the moment as the revolution snowballed until there were more workers in the streets than on their jobs, and those in offices could no longer hear themselves think over the din.
In that sense the Orange Revolution was considered a huge setback for Russian President Vladimir Putin, who had very publicly supported Viktor Yanukovych, a convicted criminal.

 An Analysis of the sermon Of Dr. Richard Price
These gentlemen of the Old Jewry, in all their reasonings on the Revolution of 1688, have a Revolution which happened in England about forty years before, and the late French Revolution, so much before their eyes, and in their hearts, that they are constantly confounding all the three together.
Unquestionably there was at the Revolution, in the person of King William, a small and a temporary deviation from the strict order of a regular hereditary succession; but it is against all genuine principles of jurisprudence to draw a principle from a law made in a special case, and regarding an individual person.
So far is it from being true, that we acquired a right by the Revolution to elect our king's, that if we had possessed it before, the English nation did at that time most solemnly renounce and abdicate it, for themselves, and for all their posterity for ever.

This was a major victory for the Orange Revolution and it marked the beginning of a new democratic dawn in Ukraine.

We cannot be defeated!" Emerging from a sea of orange, the mantra signaled the rise of a powerful civic movement, a skilled political opposition group, and a determined middle class that had come together to stop the ruling elite from falsifying an election and hijacking Ukraine's presidency.
Over the next 17 days, through harsh cold and sleet, millions of Ukrainians staged nationwide nonviolent protests that came to be known as the "orange revolution." The entire world watched, riveted by this outpouring of the people's will in a country whose international image had been warped by its corrupt rulers.
By the time victory was announced--in the form of opposition leader Viktor Yushchenko's electoral triumph--the orange revolution had set a major new landmark in the postcommunist history of eastern Europe, a seismic shift Westward in the geopolitics of the region.

 Orange Revolution's Foe Transformed in Ukraine - washingtonpost.com
KIEV, Ukraine, Nov. 27 -- The Orange Revolution, strangely, has been kindest to the man who played the villain to the waves of protesters who rolled onto the streets of this capital two years ago.
Viktor Yanukovych, once cast as the bluff hack who tried to steal Ukraine's presidential election, is back in power as prime minister thanks to free and fair parliamentary elections in March that were made possible only by the street protests of late 2004.
For others, however, the fundamental legacy of the Orange Revolution, named for the color adopted by those advocating democratic change, is that Yanukovych must now bow to the electorate and that Ukraine, a nation of 47 million, cannot return to autocratic rule.

 Ukraine marks 'orange revolution' anniversary
Ukraine marks the first anniversary of its "orange revolution," the mass protests over a rigged election that ousted an entrenched pro-Russian regime, installed pro-Western President Viktor Yushchenko in power and deeply divided the ex-Soviet country, BBC has said.
But despite the crowds, the revolution got its name from the orange color of Yushchenko's campaign that was omnipresent during the protests.
Yulia Tymoshenko, the fiery "orange princess" who fired up the crowds last year and who split with Yushchenko after he fired her as premier two months ago, is due to address the crowds right before the Ukrainian president.

To paraphrase Marx and Engels, a specter is haunting the tyrannical former communist regimes of Eastern Europe — the specter of the Orange Revolution.
Born in infamy by a provision in the Hitler-Stalin pact of 1939, Moldova was split off from Romania and given to the Soviet Union, where it languished as a “people’s republic” until 1991.
If the Orange Revolution can capture a third former communist state, the wave will be strengthened, perhaps enough to topple repressive regimes in Belarus and even to kindle the fires of freedom in Russia.

The U.S. revolution was a success that launched arguably the most successful government in the history of the world.
It needs the principles of individual rights—each person has the right to live for his or her own sake—and the idea that the proper purpose of government is to protect people's rights to own and trade property and pursue their goals without fear of violence or expropriation.
The principles of that revolution are so deeply embedded in our culture that they have survived decades of special-interest warfare and assaults by socialists.
