| Description | Once a cautious and loyal technocrat, Viktor Yushchenko is now leader of Ukraine's powerful opposition that is demanding radical political change.
Trained as an accountant, Mr Yushchenko drew Western admiration after leading some of Ukraine's bravest reform efforts in President Leonid Kuchma's quarrelsome governments.

For many he represents a historic chance to forge new ties between Ukraine and the West. |
