Legacy
President Viktor Yushchenko decreed in 2005 22 November (the starting day of the Orange Revolution) the non-public holiday "Day of Freedom". This date was moved to and 22 January (merged with Unification Day) by President Viktor Yanukovych late December 2011. President Yanukovych stated he moved "Day of Freedom" because of “numerous appeals from the public”.
Outright vote rigging diminished after the 2004 presidential election. No officials involved in the 2004 elections that preceded the Orange Revolution were convicted for election fraud.
