The King of Sore Losers

Could Yanukovych really be such a sore loser that he would make an eleventh-hour effort to privatize state assets and raid the treasury (in his capacity as prime minister) before fading into miserable obscurity -- and probably exile in Russia? This WaPo article suggests the answer might be yes.

You know what they say. If you can't beat 'em, jack all of their assets and go into exile with a bunch of Russian bodyguards supplied by the latest Soviet-style dictator in Moscow.
