About some April political events

In April several political events deeply imressed me, so I want to name these events, though I had no time to write here in the last month (sorry!).
Joyful and unexpected political news were news about the amnesty for some Ukrainian prisoners, which was signed by Ukraine's President Viktor Yanukovych on April 7th, 2013. Then were amnestied former Minister of Internal Affairs Yuriy Lutsenko, who was arrested yet in the end of December'2010 and got 4-years imprisonment, and former Minister of Protection of Natural Environment Heorhiy Filipchuk - they both were ministers in the Cabinet of the Ministers of ex-Prime Minister Yuliya Tymoshenko and were found guilty during the present presidency of V.Yanukovych. And now that freed ex-ministers can get the treatment of their diseases, which had been grown in the jail.
Sad news were reports that British politician Margaret Thatcher had died on April 8th, 2013 and had been buried on April 17th, 2013. In my opinion Margaret Thatcher was strong and great politician of the XXth century, so she also was controversial political figure in the world's history. She cared about her country Great Britain, so I don't mean that she didn't make any political mistakes. What was very important that M. Thatcher was independent politician - she wasn't some doll-marionette in the oligarchs' hands, as many present Ukrainian politicians are nowadays. Prime Minister M. Thatcher cared about growing of British economics and didn't care to be millionaire or billionaire, using state power to becoming richer and richer, as many many past and present Ukrainian politicians did and do now, beginning from the moment of their getting of any state power in Ukraine.That's why I think that M. Thatcher was real politician in all good senses of that word. And I was really sad, hearing the information about her death, but, of course, it's life and everyone will die some day. 
My biggest April political disappointment was Ukrainian politician and boxer Vitaliy Klychko. On April 2th, 2013 V. Klychko didn't come in the parliament to vote for the cancellation of Ukrainian Pension's reform'2011 and then on April 19th he didn't come in the parliament to vote for the demission of Cabinet of the Ministers of Prime Minister Mykola Azarov. V.Klychko didn't also come in the parliament to examine the project of the law about Ukrainian president's impeachment in April. Besides it, this year politician Vitaliy Klychko congratulated people with such Soviet holidays as Homeland's Defender Day on February 23th and Victory Day on May 9th, though he usually congratulates with these "holidays" every year. Well, earlier I really thought that V.Klychko could be European politician with democratic thinking, but I have mistaken.
