“Honestly, I didn’t expect the Communist Party to get 14 percent of the votes. I’m surprised people trust their claims. I voted for the Svoboda Party. I decided to give them a chance to show their worth in the parliament.”

“I’m not satisfied because Svoboda and United Opposition didn’t muster enough votes. Moreover, plenty of violations were observed at the voting stations. I cast my vote for Svoboda and a candidate from United Opposition (in the single-mandate district) as these are the only [parties] that represent the interests of people rather than the swindlers.”

“[The results] were predictable. I voted for UDAR [Vitali Klitschko’s Ukrainian Democratic Alliance for Reforms]. It’s a new power. Let’s see what they can do.”

“I don’t care. The same people [are making it into the parliament]. I do not support any of them. I’ve just crossed out the voting ballot as there was no option to vote for none of the above and I didn’t want my vote to be used by someone else.”
Yuri Auerbakh
manager
“Yes. I’m fine with that. I voted for Svoboda Party. The rest have already [been in the parliament]. Let’s check what the newcomers can do.”
