Quotable notes

"I don't think that the Communists will remain anti-Ukrainian forever. A lot of them now are. I cannot quietly observe them brandishing the signs of a state that does not exist anymore [the USSR] in the Parliament. I don't understand this. In no single country would they be allowed to enter Parliament. In no single country. But they are even putting on airs, as it were."

- President Leonid Kuchma on November 2, as quoted by Ukrainian Television and cited by RFE/RL Poland, Belarus and Ukraine Report.
