“Nothing will change. Those (who will be in power) will have to work for the money invested in them. Whatever they are willing to do they are indebted to their investors.”

Vasyl Belo­nozhko,

teacher

“You think it will be new? The same people will remain. They will be working the same way they used to. Nothing is going to change, at all. I have no hope in that and I think (neither) do other people.”

Valeria Kryvytska, 

pensioner

“I expect nothing, nothing good. The living standards will be getting worse, prices for utilities will grow and inflation rate will be extremely high. I don’t trust any of them. I’m disappointed and have already lost all my optimism. I think nothing will change.”

Natalia Matsura, 

journalist on maternity leave

“Honestly, I don’t think anything could change. I’m not going to vote. I’m disappointed. If I vote I will support none of the above.”

Tetyana Roma­shova, 

PR director

“I’m afraid nothing will change. Hopefully the things will not get worse. The same people (will be) in the parliament. They haven’t done anything before and will do nothing in the future. I’m not sure I will go to vote.”
