"все буде добре"

Ukraine's presidential election is heating up. And even if her poll numbers have slipped, Tymoshenko's media machine is running on jet fuel.

Given the millions of dollars she is spending on the campaign, we do wonder why Yulia's people settled on: "Everything is going to be alright."

It's inspiring, the way a dentist's promise that "it will only hurt a little" is inspiring.

In addition to being a common phrase, however, this was also the slogan for Moscow's Русское Радио. Conspiracy? Maybe.
