The president of the Consortium of Intellectual Service "Leon-Analytic" Oleksandr Martyniuk agreed to give the correspondent of ULutsk Investment Info his comment on the latest events taking place in Ukrainian politics. \nThe statements by Moroz that were made recently and were generously circulated by pro-government media indicate only one thing — even the most decent Ukrainian politicians are incapable of abandoning established decision-making schemes, — says Oleksandr Martyniuk. — This is no longer politics, this is — psychology. Against the backdrop of fundamental changes in the principles and methodology of the political process that are taking place in all civilized countries, the Ukrainian political class is moving in circles or "banging its head against the wall" — whichever image is closer to someone. It seems that only the authorities react to changes; their representatives, guided by a powerful instinct of self-preservation, apply the latest technologies and modern approaches. Obviously, the entire Ukrainian opposition needs a crushing defeat similar to the recent electoral failure of the Russian right. And the decision of the leaders of the SPS was equally correct — those who are incapable of changing must leave. Moroz, together with Symonenko, should have made such a decision back after the results of the "Kaniv Four" project or, at least, after the drowning in impotence and demagoguery of the "Ukraine without Kuchma" action. Until this happens, to be surprised or indignant at Moroz's statements is the same as blaming a cow for not being able to climb a tree." \n Regarding talk of a split in the opposition as a result of O. Moroz's position, Oleksandr Martyniuk believes that there is no split in the ranks of the opposition, because there has never been unity there. Everything that existed before was situational coincidences of interests. The unity of the opposition is a very attractive myth for voters, who may themselves not fully realize why they need that unity, but from the standpoint of psychological comfort and a kind of analytical laziness, it is easier for them to perceive one position than to delve into the essence of the differences between Yushchenko and Tymoshenko, Tymoshenko and Moroz, and so on. As experience shows, neither any individual nor even a common enemy is capable of becoming a motive for the unification of the Ukrainian opposition. Such a motive can only be a common, very concrete idea along the lines of: "Ukraine will become a member of the European Union on March 15, 2007, and that's that" or something similar. \nSpeaking about the possibility of nominating a single candidate from the opposition for the presidential elections, Oleksandr Martyniuk stated: "Given the political circumstances that exist today, the single candidate from the opposition will be Yushchenko, Tymoshenko, Moroz, Symonenko and a few more 'detached' opposition figures à la 'Oleksandr Matrosov to order.'" \nAs for a single candidate from the authorities, Oleksandr Ivanovych believes that "a few more explosions in various regions of Ukraine, then, possibly, someone's tragic political murder, later a few hooligan 'mass gatherings' in Lviv and Crimea, and the single candidate from the authorities is determined — it will be Yevhen Marchuk." \n \nRead also: \n \nMoroz's position is inconsistent, — head of the "Our Ukraine" Bloc in the Volyn region \n \nMoroz's statement is a warning to Yushchenko, believes people's deputy Yevhen KyryLchuk \n \nOleksandr Martyniuk: the Ukrainian political class is sick with a hopeless "déjà vu"
