Ukraine marks the first anniversary of its "orange revolution," the mass protests over a rigged election that ousted an entrenched pro-Russian regime, installed pro-Western President Viktor Yushchenko in power and deeply divided the ex-Soviet country, BBC has said. <\/p>\n

But despite the crowds, the revolution got its name from the orange color of Yushchenko’s campaign that was omnipresent during the protests. <\/p>\n

The Ukrainian president is due to address the nation at 1800 GMT on a stage in Kiev’s central Independence Square, where a year ago he launched the 17 days of peaceful demonstrations that captured headlines at home and abroad. <\/p>\n

Yushchenko’s speech will cap a day of celebrations during which organizers will aim to recreate the atmosphere of last year’s protests. Mr Yushchenko says the anniversary should become a state holiday, naming it the Day of Freedom. <\/p>\n

Yulia Tymoshenko, the fiery "orange princess" who fired up the crowds last year and who split with Yushchenko after he fired her as premier two months ago, is due to address the crowds right before the Ukrainian president. <\/p>\n

The economic slowdown, lack of progress on reforms and the splitting of the orange dream team has sent Yushchenko’s ratings tumbling and Yanukovich’s political party currently leads opinion polls as the most likely winner of next year’s key parliamentary vote, which will redraw Ukraine’s political landscape. \/\/ Reporter.MD<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
