UKRAINIAN ELECTIONS: OUR EXPECTATIONS AND OUR FEARS By Olga Pyshchulina National Institute for Strategic Studies, Kiev, Ukraine Visiting Fulbright Scholar To TraCCC

Promises of Victor Yanukovich ► Close Ukrainian – Russia relationship; ► Russian -- the second official language; ► Introduce dual Russia- Ukrainian citizenship

Post-Election Challenges in Ukraine ► The polarized electorate; ► Calls for regional autonomy; ► Decrepit rust-belt coal and steel industries in the East; ► The opposition of protectionist oligarchs, apparatchiks, and thugs

Key questions to Ukraine ► Who will get portfolios in the new government and what portfolios will they get? ► What is the difference between the new and the previous government? ► Why doesn’t new government say anything specific about political and economic reforms? ► Why doesn’t new government outline the schedule of their implementation?

What do Ukrainian people expect and fear of the new Ukrainian government ► New faces of real professionals in the government ► Freedom of speech ► Decisive political and economic reform ► Clear goals and objectives of reform ► Newly elected President might have certain commitments to the business circles that rose against Kuchma’s system ► New government, exhilarated by the victory, will not listen to constructive criticism in the press ► Possibly destructive position regarding the Russian Federation ► Russia’s influence in Ukraine will increase

Five priority blocks for reform ► Political, administrative, and judicial reform and relations between central and local governments ► Social reform ► Improvement in the taxation system and development of the financial sector ► Relations between state and private business ► International integration of Ukraine
