#quotes #ric-keller #vacation

I saw a photo of the Svoboda leader, Yatseniuk [Arseniy Yatseniuk, one of Batkivschyna leaders] and Klitschko [Vitali Klitschko, UDAR party leader] together demonstrating the unity of opposition.

Sometimes, while looking for and respecting opposition, we can't recognize it, ~Marek Siwiec
