“This is the first time that such an unprecedented use of force has been observed in relation to candidates. We remember how many journalists applauded how Shufrich was “driven”, but this is the practice of third world countries. The use of force to sort out relations with political competitors is one of the main features of this election campaign.
Secondly, the unprecedented media superiority of the political forces supporting the government. Thirdly, an unprecedented degree of radicalism. Now we are all radicals, from the Popular Front to the Civil Position. Moreover, people, knowing Gritsenko, are very offended that I called Gritsenko “Lyashko for the smart.” But this is really so, because the main radical, our not-so-poor colonel, offers very large means for solving very complex problems. This means that he is deliberately deceiving voters, raising the bar of radicalism.
And fourth: the Ukrainian voter is unprecedentedly disoriented. Hence the constant change of heroes on the proscenium. In winter there was a trio - Yatsenyuk, Klitschko, Tyagnibok. Today we see in their capacity Poroshenko, Lyashko, followed by Sadovyi from the depths of the proscenium with “Self-Help”. I think that these people will not stay long either. They may be replaced by battalion commanders and civil activists who will be even more radical.
What does this mean for the country? That it will constantly remain in a zone of political instability. So, for me the big question is: will this Verkhovna Rada be able to make money? And the other is how long can she work? If it does work,” the analyst says.
“We will get the old quality of Ukrainian politics, with buckwheat, administrative resources, provocations in elections, titushkas and other delights of Ukrainian political life,” says the expert.
