“It was unexpected to see Shevchenko on Koro-levska’s party list. I like him as a football player. He has intelligence and I think he knows what he wants. Maybe he finds some opportunities in this party. It’s not because of money: he’s rich and he may live in the US and forget about Ukraine, but he stayed here.”

Roman Lutsenko,
sound producer

“I am not interested in politics too much. In my opinion. Shevchenko wants more popularity and money.  I don’t like when actors, singers or sportsmen enter politics. It won’t guarantee victory in the elections.”

Inna Zaimenko,
student 

“Nowadays many famous people want to try themselves in different fields. Popular actors become city mayors and now Shevchenko. is going into politics. So let’s see what he can do there.”


Petro Povroznyk,
street cleaner 

“I don’t like [Korolevska] so much, but it’s good that he chose Korolevska’s party instead of the Party of Regions. Nevertheless, if they can solve some problems in the country I’ll put my thumbs up. But I will vote for Oleh Tiahnybok – he’s young and has potential.”

Lina Shehtman,
pensioner  

“I think it will be better for him to appear on [Vitali] Klitschko’s party lists – it’s obvious. But he wants to work with Korolevska because it’s the party of young people. I expect her to do better than [Yulia] Tymoshenko, but we don’t know what coalition will appear after the elections.”
