He was born on July 9, 1950. I was born on the same date, but in 1953. So we share an astrological sign. I’d say the stars worked out better for me. He may be a billionaire, whereas I certainly am not, but I am free to live as I please, whereas Viktor Yanukovych, having siphoned off the riches of Ukraine, is now a wanted criminal. He is hiding somewhere in the Russian Federation, having decamped from Kiev only hours before the locals got their hands on him. Few would have mourned if he had ended up in the Euromaidan à la Mussolini, Ceausescu or Hussein. Alas, the thief fled in the night, before justice was served.
