A delegation from Volyn took part in the action "The Power of the People Against Lies and Falsification." The Volyn residents, unlike other regional delegations, reached the capital without particular adventures or obstacles. Two columns of Yushchenko supporters and those defending their right to honest elections arrived at the square in front of the Central Election Commission. The square was overflowing with people bearing Yushchenko's election symbols. The participants assessed the action, with such a large number of people taking part, as a national uplift and an awareness by the overwhelming majority of our fellow citizens that things cannot go on like this any longer. The Volyn delegation chanted slogans "Yes! Yushchenko!", "We are together! There are many of us and we cannot be defeated!", "East and west together!", "On November 1 there will be a new government!" The organizers claim that about two hundred thousand Ukrainians took part in the action. As expected, the candidate for President Viktor Yushchenko addressed the rally participants. In his speech he thanked everyone present for their support: "I want to applaud each of you who has walked these paths, these ordeals, who is in Kyiv today, who demonstrates that we are choosing a new Ukraine and a new Ukrainian government, that we have a civic position. Thank you for this. I applaud you and my great gratitude to you." Viktor Yushchenko assured everyone that he would certainly win the elections: "The government lost long ago. And the police and the military will not help it." Addressing the rally participants, the people's candidate assured that he would be worthy of the high trust of the voters. "I know my duty. We are together and we will certainly win. We do not need crumbs from the oligarchs' table, but guarantees of prosperity for 47 million Ukrainians. A person should live better in the evening, better than in the morning. The state, its economy, the Government and, of course, the social budget must work for this. This is our answer. And so it will be!" said Yushchenko. In addition, Viktor Yushchenko noted that "the government wants to split us. We are being divided into 'easterners' and 'westerners.' We are being divided into first, second and third class citizens. Divided by church, divided by faith, divided by language. From posters and from screens brother is being incited against brother. It will not work! We are a single Ukrainian people. We are together and we know that our choice will strengthen our Ukrainian unity! We are citizens of Ukraine, we will not sit and wait for falsified election results to be announced to us. Let the bandits not count on that. We will defend every one of our votes. We will defend our choice." Viktor Andriyovych appealed to every citizen of Ukraine to come to the polling stations and vote as their conscience dictates. "Tell your neighbor, your relative, your friend — what exactly he is choosing. Knock on every door. Everyone must come to the elections. Know that every vote is decisive. There is not a single superfluous vote on October 31. I, my dear friends, am convinced — it will not be the convicts, not the prison zone that will determine the fate of my country and the fate of 47 million. I am convinced that 47 million honest people will themselves determine what government there will be after October 31 in Ukraine, what ideals it will build." Viktor Yushchenko also said: "I want to warn the bandits in power once again — do not play with fire. Do not dig a pit! The first one to fall into it — that will be you. For every crime, I give my word, for every crime, for the persecution of every person you will answer according to the law. The time will come! The people will not forgive those who oppose violence to their will. We will consistently and resolutely defend our choice. This is our lawful right. We will fight for it at every polling station, in every district, in every Ukrainian village and in every Ukrainian city." During the start and course of the actions no particular, inadequate events were observed; provocations began after people started to disperse. Windows in the premises of the CEC were broken, several smoke bombs were thrown. People remained under the walls of the CEC until late at night. By their presence on the square, the voters expressed their aspiration for honest elections. And all this time the members of the election commission were deciding how many polling stations should be created on the territory of the Russian Federation.
