ABSTRACT
In October 28, 2012 in Ukraine are held parliamentary elections. In the elections
participated 22 political parties. Election barriers could overcome 5 of them,
including All-Ukrainian Union “Svoboda” – a party with nationalistic views and
slogans. During the elections campaign there were a lot of speculation about who
supports and finances the party. Most Ukrainian politicians were convinced that
Svoboda would not overcome 5% barrier. However, to their great astonishment
Svoboda contrary to exit polls prediction, got 10.44% of voices and entered to
Ukrainian Parliament and formed own fraction. Special attention should devote
to analysis of pre-election program of the party. Some postulates of the program
are intertwined with other opposition groups; others are like postulates of Party
of Regions. Among the most controversial postulates are conducting a process of
lustration, prohibition of Communist Party of Ukraine, prohibition of abortion,
permission for possession of firearms, returning Ukraine nuclear status, change
the status of Ukrainian Autonomous Republic of Crimea in to district, reduce
energy dependence from Russia and strengthen cooperation with the Baltic-Black
Sea axle.
