Between elections

The first round of the presidential elections took place on Sunday. Timoshenko and Yanukovich will face each other again on February 7th for the runoff.
On the day of the elections, the face of Kiev changed radically. All the political posters and banners disappeared, no more Timoshenko embracing a lion, no more Yanukovich stating nothing, no more Yushtshenko saying that Europe is great.
With the real cold setting in now (minus 15°C today, then down to minus 19°C and minus 22°C on Sunday), the new campaign will probably be frozen 'til shortly before the next round of elections.
