In a move reminiscent of the Mulroney-Schreiber tango going on in Ottawa, Yulia Tymoshenko, the leader of the parliamentary bloc bearing her name (BYuT), said that the opposition Party of Regions tried to bribe four lawmakers to withdraw their signatures from the coalition agreement between the BYuT and the Our Ukraine-People's Self-Defense bloc.
Tymoshenko said the lawmakers accepted the bribes with the goal of collecting evidence against the Party of Regions. "This was our project to publicly demonstrate a betrayal of political morality, the Party of Region's betrayal of the principles that should exist in politics. We have recorded the transfer of the money, which we then returned. We recorded how, where, and to whom they returned it," she said. Tymoshenko said that "one lawmaker's soul is valued at $20 million." In late November, Tymoshenko accused the Party of Regions of attempts to bribe BYuT lawmakers.
Lesson to Party of regions from schreiber-Mulroney: Cash is harder to trace for your mucky transactions.

Here's one of the four videos released by BYuT, complete with a translated transcript.
For some time now I've been trying to convice Taras that our mafia is equal to Ukraine's, just maybe a tad more urbane.
Maybe that was not such a good idea, given my belief that there is such a thing as self-fulfilling prophesies...
As it turns out, perhaps ignorance is bliss. Sigh.
