NEW VERKHOVNA RADA: CARCASS TRAITORS BANISHMENT, FIGHTS AND NEW OLD PRIME MINISTER Verkhovna Rada has decided on its leaders and elected Mykola Azarov as Prime Minister. But even with these decisions, it is already clear that the current parliament cannot be considered tame. The Party of Regions has shown that from now on "playing the piano" (button pushing by deputies for multiple colleagues) will not work that easy. 13 801 72 Previously in trend: Rada Fights New Rada 
PARTY OF REGIONS - ANATOMY OF DEFEAT. WILL YANUKOVYCH RUN IN 2015 ELECTION? In the great war for power the parliamentary elections in Ukraine were not the main battle but a reconnaissance in force just before the decisive battle - the presidential elections of 2015. The most demonstrative lesson was given to the regime - and today it is obvious that if Viktor Yanukovych does not analyze his mistakes, and the current management system is retained, his chances to fight for a second term are close to zero. So did the regime win or lose the elections? 18 491 113 Previously in trend: Elections 2012 
TECHNOLOGY-2012: ARSON, FIGHTS AND DELAYING VOTE COUNT One of the regime’s main technologies at the present moment is blocking the vote counting process in the districts where the Regions clearly lost. They also stake on the human factor – many commission members have to sit in lines for days on end, sleeping on the floor, suffering various many inconveniences, not being able to officially deliver the ballots. The goal is that many may simply not be able to sustain such physical and emotional stress. 4 777 45 Previously in trend: Elections 2012 
UKRAINE MAKES THE CHOICE. OVER 50% ARE AGAINST THE PARTY OF REGIONS AND YANUKOVYCH It is already clear that the United opposition candidate has an advantage over the President in 2015 elections. Three opposition forces receive more than 50% in the party elections this sending a warning signal to Mezhygirya. Future parliament will probably not become Yanukovych’s sterilized pet. 22 733 130 Previously in trend: Elections 2012 
'SHUSTERIZATION' OF UKRAINE: PECULIARITIES OF ELECTION TV 'Shusterization' (from the name of the popular TV host Savik Shuster – formerly worked in Russia, emigrated to Italy and for over 5 years has been successful in Ukraine) with all accompanying symptoms is going so far so good. But how long will this kind of TV be needed – entertaining but pointless in essence, manipulating the facts and not able to tell the truth? TV where “freedom of speech” is expressed in a very clear monetary equivalent. 11 304 79 Previously in trend: TVi Pressure 
LIST OF 54 OR GOODBYE, AMERICA Right about now Viktor Yanukovych should be in the United States where he is participating in 67 Session of the UN General Assembly. Upon the results of this visit we will be able to discuss how bad everything is. For example, if they manage to catch Obama somewhere near the restrooms the regime will start trumping about the stability of Ukraine’s international politics. 10 352 40
