In Dnipropetrovsk, people hired by Viktor Yanukovych's election headquarters to work at polling stations in Ternopil region are demanding the payment of the money promised to them, Radio Svoboda reports. \n \nOn November 2 in Dnipropetrovsk, near the building of the Industrial Technical College on Kalinina Avenue, people hired by Yanukovych's election headquarters waited in vain from six o'clock in the morning until midday for the money promised to them for work in Ternopil region to be paid out. \n \nAccording to the "paratroopers" themselves, the district election headquarters of Yanukovych, which was located in the Industrial Technical College and in no way figures as an official headquarters, offered them to take part in the work of polling stations in Ternopil region as observers from the "Party of Regions." Actually, they only learned en route to Ternopil where they were going, what they would be doing, and which party the people who offered them 120 dollars for 5 days of work belonged to. No written agreements were drawn up. The group included more than 100 workers, in particular from the Dnipropetrovsk Metallurgical Plant, students, and the unemployed. In total, more than 2,000 observers were brought to Ternopil region from Dnipropetrovsk region. \n \nThe "paratroopers" said that in the buses, despite the fact that the money had been fully promised to be paid before departure, they were given 150 hryvnias each for personal expenses and payment for accommodation for 5 days, and the rest was promised to be paid upon return to Dnipropetrovsk. The group was led and the money was handed out without receipts by a man who introduced himself as a coordinator of Yanukovych's headquarters, with the surname Shalugin. The people he hired do not know his first name. Incidentally, Yanukovych's election headquarters also said that there is no person with such a surname at the headquarters. \n \n"We, of course, voted there (in Ternopil region – ed.). We took absentee ballots. We voted once. We did not find any violations at any of the polling stations. Not a single act or protocol was drawn up. No violations were recorded. The people there received us very well, warmly. We got the impression that they wanted to set us against each other, to put us in front of those people in Western Ukraine, as if we would be received negatively there and on that basis to spark some kind of incident. But the people there, I'll tell you, are wonderful," said one of the "election paratroopers" by the name of Ihor. He also expressed indignation at how the organizers of the "election landing force" behaved. "The money for accommodation had already been transferred, but they took additional money from us. All the money simply went into someone's pocket. We were told that the money was still in Kyiv, but that money had already been transferred here back in the twenties of the month before our trip," he said. \n \nAnother "paratrooper" noted that this was "an ordinary scam." "An ordinary scam. Herd people God knows where, and then pocket the money. And we are supposed to vote for the candidate who has been deceiving us from the very beginning? Why do we need such a president?" he said.
