Ukrainiana writes about the evolution of Yulia Tymoshenko's campaign promise to refund Soviet-era savings: “So, if my parents had 6,000 rubles on deposit in the mid 80s, which could buy a Zhiguli, all they get is $200, a free haircut, and that's it? And you call that fair? And what about those coal miners and industry workers who had up to 20,000 rubles on deposit?”
