Blue &Yellow: Politics and Economics in Ukraine

Besides the abolition of a number of institutes and committees created by orders of Viktor Yushchenko, President Victor Yanukovych and formed their own series of structures, including the Committee on preparation and conducting in Ukraine of finals of European Championship 2012, which was headed by himself and the Public Humanities Council , headed by Deputy Head of Presidential Administration Anna Herman.

The Yanukovych administration has moved swiftly to replace or undo actions taken by former President Yushchenko, excerpt above from BBC Ukraine. Itas-Tass described it in an article as shaking off Yushchenko's "ideological heritage".  Besides replacing institutions his also replaced governors appointed by Yushchenko. Also, the court ruling in Dontesk repealing the Hero of Ukraine to Bandera was a move backed by Yanukovych government.  Yanukovych can afford to undue Yushchenko's work. His undoing the work of a president whose approval ratings were in the low single digits. NATO membership did not have widespread support Ukraine and the same goes for Bandera (except in western Ukraine).  These moves also please Russia who has yet to give the Ukrainians anything in return.
