Instead of railing Orange-style against juntas and authoritarianism, Yatsenyuk switched to declaring war on corruption, using hard-man talk of filling the jails and cutting off hands. He also showed himself happy to speak Russian in public, supported the Russian stance over gas transport, and praised Putin as “having saved his country.” “Putin-lite” is also reminiscent of Dmitry Medvedev, who enjoys a high level of approval in Ukraine, has declared war on corruption, is young and has a background in law, like Yatsenyuk.
From Russia Profile's profile on the ex-speaker of the Rada, whose described as "tailor made" (manufactured) to be a pro-Western leader. Its more of a look at the ex-speakers failure to maintain his poll numbers in recent months, after being seen as an early favorite for the presidency. As Taras Kuzio noted earlier in the year, Yatsenyuk has no regional base to rely on for political support, unlike Regions and BYuT.
