Photographing Yushchenko's brand new orange tents all over Khreshchatyk was about as fun as photographing newly-installed garbage bins or something as prosaic. Boring.

Sterile, not spontaneous. A costly formality.

A friend has told me today of a Tymoshenko supporter who is volunteering as an election observer from Yushchenko's Our Ukraine - as a spy, deliberately, in order to catch them doing something illegal - and he's already been approached by someone, offering him to take part in rigging the results. I don't know the specifics, unfortunately.
