Yup, worry you will get over-thrown, just clone yourself and have your clone run as "opposition".

Poroshenko's actual history isn't far off from that from what I understand, also starting his "business" with corrupt Soviet background, founding Party of Regions, defecting to back "Orange" until that failed to it's own corruption, rejoining PoR backers, and then turning on them (now).

He's pretty much a blank slate with no accountability for hs past because he's stayed out of actual political positions himself, up to now... In his latest coup-run election win, he flatly refused to debate the other major coup-affiliated candidate, Julia Timoshenko (herself heavily tainted by her stint as PM in the discredited Orange Revolution), basically meaning he didn't need to rigorously defend any policy direction, he could just broadcast glittering generalities with his own private media empire (which he refuses to get rid of while he is serving as President).
