Editor's Take:

Viktor Yanukovych was president of Ukraine until the Maidan revolution drove him out. He grew up poor in the Donbas and was twice jailed as a young man. He rose through the coal and industrial world of Donetsk to become governor. In 2004 his rigged election victory sparked the Orange Revolution and a rerun, which he lost. He won the presidency in 2010. In 2013 he rejected a deal with the European Union. Mass protests followed, and in 2014 he fled to Russia.
