Now there is an other slideshow at this link, showing a photo. Has anybody seen
news reports showing this opposition flag?
Martin Karner, 1 November 2004
Electoral bloc of Victor Yushchenko (opposition) uses the
orange flags with a red word "Tak!" (Yes!), grey
horseshoe and red motto "Viryu Znayu Mozhemo" (I
beliewe, I know, We can).

I saw also a couple of blue-yellow-red flags.
António Martins, 26 November 2004
Perhaps you saw a blue-yellow-crimsom (MALYNOVYI) flag of
political party "Batkivshchyna".
These flags are present in all meetings of opposition. I didn't
saw any Russian flag during these actions. It is clear, because
Russia supports other candidate - Yanukovych.

At <www.freerepublic.com>,
there are some pictures showing flags used by the Ukrainian
protesters, mostly the orange flags with the "Yushchenko
Yes" inscription.
On the "personal website of Viktor Yushchenko" thte ia
a photo
(with numerous other [flag] photos) with a variant of the
opposition flag, showing a photo of Viktor Yushchenko:
Martin Karner, 26 November 2004
People in Ukraine use various kinds of the Yushchenko's block
flags (light or dark orange, with texts, portrait or without
images).

I saw one flag on the news on TV, which was white and black
horizontal with a red cross in the middle. What could that have
been?
Elias Granqvist, 2 December 2004
At a demonstration for Victor Yushchenko, presidential
candidate in Ukraine, there is, amid the national bicolor and
orange party flags, a Blue-Yellow-Red horizontal tricolor flying
in a photo I saw in The Economist. Any clue what it is?
Albert S. Kirsch, 4 December 2004
It is a flag of the party of "Batkivshchyna"
(= Motherland; leader - Mrs. Yuliya Tymoshenko). The orange flag
isn't a symbol of separate party, but of political block.
Andriy Grechylo, 4 December 2004
I saw flags at the Kiev protest:
1) Orange over black, A cross with pointed bottom in center with
Ukrainian trident. See my photo.
Orange is Yushchenko's color, the color of protest. Black is the
typical winter color of a Ukrainian's clothes.
2) Tak! flag means yes in Ukrainian. Flag of Yushchenko.
Interesting PORA flag. Usually
