“I guess it’s not about ‘who’ can be a threat, but more likely ‘what.’ Who has more money? You must be good at competent bribing. But I think a party or a person also matters. Those in power may provide maximum assistance in this issue.”
Raisa Nalicheva,
Engineer
“My opinion is the elections will be unfair. The experience of all previous elections proves it. The biggest threat is the pursuit of power by any means. Irrespective of those who desire it, I don’t believe any party.”
Genadiy Petrov,
Psychologist
“I think local elections will be fair, of course, 100 percent democracy. Do you want me to say they will be unfair?”
Ruslan Guluev,
Electrical engineer
“I have a very general idea about the situation in Ukraine. I am a Canadian, just sightseeing in Kyiv. However, I hope the elections will be more honest than in Russia.”
Svitlana Kavitska,
Retired
“Everything is so tightly seized by one political power, in one hand, that it’s difficult to imagine someone can break through this wall. Now only capital reigns. And the capital may be clever, and it may be dull, so to say. Very often, I want to do the opposite just because someone is imposing something else on me. Being a Russian speaker I will speak Ukrainian now, just because they oppress Ukrainian.”
