Ukraine was cleared of dissenters
In Ukraine, after the Maidan, the entire opposition political field was virtually cleared, and all those who disagree are either in prison or have already left.

Kyiv political scientist Kirill Molchanov stated this at a press conference in Kyiv, as reported by a PolitNavigator correspondent , noting that May 2 in Odessa this year passed without any serious provocations.
“The fact is that over the years a negative practice has been created, when so many security forces appear that people are simply afraid to go out onto the streets. And it is unlikely that provocations could have occurred, because almost completely (and not only in Odessa) the entire opposition political field has been cleared, and all those who disagree have either already been jailed or have left. Although, of course, such pictures that we observed will clearly not contribute to the development of tourism in this region,” Molchanov believes.
As PolitNavigator reported, at the beginning of the year, the SBU reported that it had opened 12 criminal cases against "terrorists," "separatists," and "saboteurs."
