Chronicle of the Orange
Revolution -- on film
Хроніка помаранчевої
Революції -- на фільмі
On the first anniversary of the Orange Revolution (November/December
2004), Sviatoslav Tseholko interviews some key players in the Orange
Revolution. These include Petro Poroshenko (chocolate oligarch and
owner of Channel 5 TV), Victor Yushchenko (discredited past president),
Yuri Lutsenko (now in prison in 2011) and Serhii Kivalov (CEC chairman
accused
of falsifying election results).
Even at that time, the still-optomistic Poroshenko (who supported
Yushchenko) and Lutsenko felt that the Orange Revolution had failed to
reach its goals, which they attributed to the entrenched people in the
Verkhovna Rada. Poroshenko thought that the 2006 parliamentary
elections would bring in the new blood required to make the necessary
changes. On the contrary, as an election observer at the 26Mar2006
parliamentary elections, I felt that the already cynical electorate had
been forced to vote for 450 criminals
to the Verkhovna Rada:

"On 26 March 2006, the Ukrainian people democratically elected and
legitimized the 450 "criminals" (with immunity from prosecution for criminal
acts) to the Verkhovna Rada. In other words, although the election procedures
were fair and legitimate, the legitimacy of the politicians ranked in the "party
lists" of the various Parties is questionable."
