To my mind, the best fit would probably be (Lithuanian President) Dalia Grybauskaite. She is tough, decisive, honest and knows what she wants. She is a very educated person with European views.

Frankly speaking, I believe that the humankind itself has fallen so low, that there are no people who could really govern the country effectively. Although, maybe I’m wrong, and this person hasn’t been born yet.

It would be great to have ex-leader of Singapore (Lee Kuan Yew) as the president of Ukraine. In that case, Ukraine could develop and grow rapidly and effectively, later becoming as rich and modern as Singapore.

The president of China (Xi Jinping) is kind of effective. Though, I guess, his politics wouldn’t be a good fit for governing Ukraine. If I could choose from deceived politics as well — my choice would definitely be Churchill. He was a great patriot of his country. Although the period of his governing was right at the time of war, he showed the world that English people would not back down and flipped the way of the history.

I guess I would pick (ex-Presidet) Viktor Yushchenko. He had a lot of great beginnings and patriotic ideas, which, sadly, were not fully implemented. The biggest reason for choosing him would be that he really tried to raise the level of life of middle-class Ukrainians. And that, to my mind, is the main evidence of growth in a country.

Nowadays, I believe, the only great fit for the Ukrainian President would be Superman. I mean, for real. He is strong-minded, responsible and always takes care of the citizens. However, it could also be me because I’m just like him. Almost.
