191. They initiated the whole fleeing the country thing

The first of those two early elections has Yanukovich's signature on it which was yet another "changing rules of the game"

"Frankly speaking, we are really concerned about the situation with the Ukrainian parliament dealing very slowly with the elections-related problem in these constituencies, as well as with scheduling of the elections. They constantly put aside the issue, and that's why we cannot consider the elections completed," he said.

As reported, in the parliamentary elections on October 28, 2012, the Central Election Commission recognized the impossibility of establishing the election results in five single-seat districts – Nos. 94 (Obukhiv, Kyiv region), 132 (Pervomaisk, Mykolaiv region), 194 and 197 (Cherkasy region) and 223 (Kyiv, Shevchenkivsky district).

Ukraine's law on parliamentary elections does not foresee the possibility of the non-recognition of election results in single-seat constituencies. Due to this fact the CEC refused to schedule repeated elections in these five constituencies until the problem is regulated legally.

On December 29, 2012, the Constitutional Court of Ukraine received a query from 54 MPs regarding the official interpretation of a number of provisions of the law on election of people's deputies of Ukraine concerning the procedures for appointing rerun elections.

They had a lack of but still had credible international monitors who monitor elections around the world show up. A lot of those issues from 2012 were even worse in 2014. Ukraine has routine brawls in Parliament which the heavy weight champion elected in Parliament notable never participates in them.

One coalition takes power, throws people out, changes the rules (Yanukovych's changes were used against him), the next one does the same thing, the other after that. It is obvious a Freedom Party-coalition power grab with convienent issues & while elements of rebel forces are very corrupt & bad, so are opposition forces.

The political prosecutions are done by all sides which probably explains why he fled. Leonid Kuchma is under investigation, among several, and this is what his electoral map from 1994 looks like (the blue side voted for him)


Yanukoych was in the middle of this, did several things including making a new constitution to please EU but after drawing the line over the release of the "Oil Princess" he said fuck it, went with the trade deal with Russia (a smoke bomb was thrown at the signing), was thrown out almost following it. Many people in the East were unhappy with him & still unhappy with the bums that threw him out.

Ukraine has issues that need to be worked out but I don't trust any of the political factions to solve them.
