Residents of small Lithuanian towns believe that Viktor Yushchenko is the president of Switzerland, Latvia or Romania. \n \nThis is evidenced by the results of a survey conducted on the streets of small towns by the popular TV journalist Juras Jankevičius, author of the TV program Klausimelis ("Little Question"), which airs on Lithuanian national TV. \n \n"This is the head of a Roma camp in Vilnius," said a resident of the small town of Trakai. \n \nAnother resident of Trakai noted that Yushchenko is "the president of Kaliningrad." \n \nHer neighbor believes that Yushchenko is from Chukotka and became famous for gathering criminal groups around himself and robbing people, engaging in racketeering "like the mafia," and "became known as Bin Laden." \n\nA resident of the town of Prienai thinks that Yushchenko is the president of Switzerland. \n \n"He was the president of Latvia. It seems, in the previous term," said another resident of this town. "No, he is the president of Romania," insists a resident of Kėdainiai. Her neighbor disagrees with her: "He is a writer, he wrote 'The Kid and Carlson.'" \n \nIn the town of Jonava they think that Yushchenko is Putin's deputy, since he has a Russian surname, while in the town of Zarasai they are convinced that Yushchenko is the supreme commander of NATO. \n \nThe most knowledgeable was a resident of the town of Rokiškis, who noted that Yushchenko was the president of Ukraine "before Yanukovych." \n \nThere were other answers as well: Yushchenko is "a Belarusian political figure who overthrew Lukashenko"; the prime minister of Russia; a member of the Lithuanian Seimas; he became famous for "cooperating with the KGB." \n \nThe most telling was the remark of a resident of the town of Šalčininkai: "Yushchenko? A member of the Seimas or whatever... Which Seimas? I don't know. Which country? Probably ours. What did he become famous for? Like everyone else. Go ask others, maybe someone knows better. We don't care whether it's Yushchenko or anyone else."
