Quelques (futurs) députés de l’Assemblée ukrainienne présentés par le Kyiv Post

Borys Filatov, district 27, Dnipropetrovsk
Filatov co-owns some of the most pricey realty in Dnipropetrovsk. In March he accepted the post of deputy head of Dnipropetrovsk Oblast from the region’s governor and billionaire Ihor Kolomoyskiy.

At the same time, Bloc of Petro Poroshenko didn’t nominate any candidates in the district of Filatov. None of the other pro-Western parties nominated candidates in his district too - Opposition Bloc, People’s Front and Samopomich.

Filatov is part of Virgin Galactic’s space tourism program. His space flight was initially planned for this year.

Dmytro Yarosh, district 39, Dnipropetrovsk Oblast
Leader of the nationalist party #Right_Sector, known for taking an active role in the EuroMaidan Revolution, Yarosh didn’t take the risk of putting his name on the party list. With half of the votes counted, the Right Sector has only 1.9 percent of support. Yarosh himself ran in a single-seat district in his native region and succeeded. His run for the presidency in May got him less than one percent of the vote.

At the same time, Right Sector spokesperson Boryslav Bereza is leading in district 213 in Kyiv.

Yukhym Zvyagilskiy, district 45, Donetsk Oblast

Zvyagilskiy, 81, has been a member of every Ukrainian parliament since independence. For the last three elections Zvyagilskiy ran with the Party of Regions, the party of former President Viktor Yanukovych. Like many of his former party fellows, this time he chose to run independently to avoid unwanted associations with the former government.

Kolomoyskiy’s Wall
This week, Ihor Kolomoyskiy, the governor of Dnipropetrovsk Oblast, proposed to newly elected President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko that a wall almost 2,000 km long be built along the Ukraine-Russia border. According to the project, the wall should separate Donetsk, Luhansk, and Kharkiv Oblasts from the Russian Federation and prevent the infiltration of combatants, weapons, and military equipment into Ukrainian territory.

We should note that such a radical solution has been successful in Israel, which erected a wall on the border with Palestine, but on quite a different scale—these are small states in comparison with Ukraine and Russia.

The main feature of the wall is that similar constructions were built to shield a ‘civilized Ecumene’ from barbarian raids and invasions.

The Wall is not only a physical object or a materialized dividing line. The Wall is also a symbol of Ukrainians and Russians going in different directions. The Wall is a symbol of the collapse of the great myth of the two fraternal Slavic nations.
