The Orange Revolution (Ukrainian: Помаранчева Революція) was a color revolution in Ukraine in 2004 against president-elect Viktor Yanukovych.
2004 presidential election
Since no candidate won a majority of votes in the first round of Ukraine’s 2004 presidential election, a run-off was declared between the top two candidates: Viktor Yushchenko (independent) and Viktor Yanukovych of the pro-Russian[1] Party of Regions. Yanukovych won the second round with 49.42% of the vote while Yushchenko got 46.69%.[2]
