Today citizens Ukraine choose by
new structure The Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine . Sociologists predict a low appearance, and the power, in order to avoid new "Maidan", forbade holding any mass actions in the center Kiev for the next two weeks.
we Will remind

that elections pass new The Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, Odesa, and in the large cities of the center of the country where political sympathies are distributed almost evenly.

in order to avoid falsifications by the voting day all polling stations Ukraine by the Russian example were equipped with webcams, but, already the first hour of work of sites showed extremely poor quality told by the pictures cameras that probably becomes a reason for complaints dissatisfied parties and candidates.

In spite of the fact that all year sociologists fixed fatigue of Ukrainians from political struggle, falling of interest to parliamentary campaign and unwillingness to take with protests to the streets because of local politicians, without passions and an intrigue after all did not do. So, the main issue of present elections not in the one who will win first place - domination of Party of regions of Ukraine does not raise at anybody doubts and who will divide "silver" and "bronze". And here fight goes between the Udar party conducted by the defending champion of the world on boxing by Vitali Klitschko, and the Integrated Opposition (IO), a conglomerate of the former "orange" politicians acting for and on behalf of Yulia Tymoshenko. In ten days prior to the voting day when in the country came into force of embargo on publication of these opinion polls, both political forces went a nostril to a nostril: sociologists predicted to "Blow" and OO on 17-21protsent national support. And ratings of opposition tended to decrease, and "Blow" ratings - on the contrary grew. It is necessary to explain that the third place of the Integrated Opposition will mean her political death: Yulia Tymoshenko, Arseniy Yatsenyuk, Turchinov and other politicians who have rigidly opposed the state bilingualism, the introduction Ukraine in the Customs union and making advances to the West, will lose the moral right to broadcast on behalf of a half of Ukrainians, what right the whole last years regularly abused. It is remarkable that desperate attempt of the formal leader of opposition Arseniy Yatsenyuk to incline Vitali Klitschko to cooperation, coordination of candidates of single-mandate MPs and as a whole to the political union terminated in anything: Vitali Klitschko refused to remove the candidates "through passage" for advantage of oppositionists, and did not begin to sign in advance the offered Arseniy Yatsenyuk the coalition agreement.

Second on the importance an intrigue of elections: will pass or will not pass in parliament ultra - nationalists from Svoboda party. To admirers so-called "integrated Ukrainian nationalism" and to successors of business of Bandera and Shukhevich sociologists designated 4-5 percent, that is at them the chance to overcome a barrier checkpoint is great. However, even if "Freedom" will not gain necessary 5 percent, and will not be able to create in Rada the full-fledged fraction, the "freezed" nationalists in the Ukrainian parliament all the same will appear. As the most odious leaders of "Freedom" stand on one-mandatory districts in the west of the country, have preferable chances of a victory, and as extra fractional deputies all the same will receive a tribune for promotion of the ideas. By the way, unlike Vitali Klitschko, the leader of "Freedom" Oleg Tyagnibok fruitfully cooperates with the Integrated Opposition and in advance signed the coalition agreement with Arseniy Yatsenyuk.

At last, the destiny of Party of Natalia Korolevska "Ukraine – Forward!" is of interest. It is the "technological" project Korolevskaya Natalia, ex-allies Yulia Tymoshenko, the deputy and the businesswoman. Its campaign, by estimates of local experts, became most expensive (by rough estimates the sum of investments reads off scale for 100 million dollars) and at the same time - the most ineffectual. Attraction to elections of the known football player Shevchenko Andrey, aggressive advertizing of party did not allow it to be beyond an arithmetic error. All authoritative sociological services designate it 2-3 percent. In reply Korolevskaya Natalia gave on sociologists to court - a case unique in world political practice.

By noon on the Kiev time (by the way, at night before vote Ukraine passed to winter time and now time difference between Kiev and Moscow makes two hours), according to the chairman Central Federal District election commission Ukraine Shapoval Vladimir, serious violations during elections are not recorded. "The impression is made that three hours from the moment of the beginning pass electoral process absolutely regularly", - he told.

By this time President of Ukraine Viktor Yanukovych managed to vote. It came to a site one, without family. Having left a booth President of Ukraine declared:" Important and responsible day for our state comes nearer. Parliamentary elections have to become the next step to association of the country and society consolidation round democratic values. Therefore I urge everyone to come and vote for the future!" .

As for Timoshenko Yuli, to it members of election commission will arrive to hospital with a ballot box after the end of vote in the Kachanovsky colony, to which it as concluded, "is attributed". Twist of fate that Yulia Tymoshenko will not be able to vote for the deputy-mazhoritarshchika from opposition - the candidate from her political force was withdrawn from elections on the district. Neither to Lutsenko, nor to Timoshenko Yuli journalists in the voting day will not let.

the armored personnel carrier and tanks appeared

Meanwhile, to Square of Independence …. On Saturday this news did a lot of noise, however the city authorities explained that about any strengthening of a mode before elections of the speech does not go, and an exhibition of military equipment - part of actions for celebration of day of release Kiev from fascists. However, in order to avoid mass protests up to November 12 the Kiev district court forbade holding any mass actions in the center of the Ukrainian capital. However, any of political forces did not declare preparation for any mass actions and any signs of future "Maidan" - tents round Rada and the Central Electoral Commission, field kitchens and concert scenes in Kiev is not noticed.
