DWARFS GO TO UKRAINE

POLISH TITLE: KRASNOLUDKI JADĄ NA UKRAINĘ

In the 80’s Polish dwarfs contributed to the ending of communism and Berlin Wall collapse. When the “Orange Revolution” began in Ukraine, the dwarfs took it upon themselves to support it - an orange bus left Warsaw heading towards Kiev. They took with them two chocolate heads; each representing the presidential candidates, Yushchenko and Yanukovich (so that the people could "taste of power), a 200-metre long orange banner with supporting statements and an orange scarf which was knitted by Poles and Ukrainians on the way to. They hung the 15-metre long orange scarf around the neck of the new president of Ukraine.
