She is the beautiful and fiery Yuliya Timoshenko. Despite some potential shady dealings in the past with regard to the acquistion of her great fortune (a charge not uncommon against those who have amassed wealth in that part of the world), she has positioned herself squarely on the side of reform, becoming Yushchenko's, uh, right hand man (so to speak) during this protracted election saga. I'm particularly admiring of her principled stand on positions where Yushchenko himself has permitted compromise. Perhaps this is why she herself is not the presidential candidate, but often times it looks as if she is the fire behind the Orange Revolution.
If you're REALLY interested, she has an English language site with biography, family photos, etc. here:
