5. In this respect, the recent Ukrainian Orange Revolution was the second historical phase of the Eastern European revolutions of the beginning of the 1990s. It aimed at accomplishing the delayed and unfinished tasks of the political transformation in Ukraine, as the formation of market and transparent economy, democratization of political life, and the affirmation of the rule of law. However, it was not just the Eastern European de ja viu. The Orange Revolution had its own national and political idiom; that is, however, the subject for a special study.
