There was no democratic uprising in Kiev. There was an illegal coup detat,
led by a motley crew of fascists, ultra-nationalists and anti-Semites.
Viktor Yanukovych, the ousted president, was certainly no saint, but he
was the winner of a free and fair election in 2010. Those who toppled
Yanukovych had only the support of the mob that gathered in the Maidan.
.
These are the basic tropes of the propaganda broadcast relentlessly by
Kremlin-controlled media for the past three months. Western media have
generally proved resistant to such nonsense, but various policy experts
and commentators have given such propaganda far more credit than they
should.
.
Election Results an Embarrassment for the Far Right
.
The supposed reservoirs of reactionary thinking in western Ukraine
generated an embarrassing 1% of the vote for Oleh Tyagnibok of
ultra-nationalist Svoboda Party and less than 1% for Dmitry Yarosh of the
new Right Sector party that sprung up during the protests.
.
A story run by the Jewish Telegraphic Agency notes that Tyagnibok and
Yarosh together received fewer votes than Vadim Rabinovich, a Jewish
candidate who captured a little over 2% of the ballots. In addition,
.
Alexander Levin, president of the Jewish Community of Kiev, wrote on
Facebook that Tyagnybok and Yaroshs failure to match Rabinovich showed
that in Ukraine, there is no policy of-Semitism, period.
.
Results Also a Repudiation of Yanukovych
Viktor Yanukovych actually won a free and fair election in 2010 before
initiating his efforts to subvert Ukrainian democracy. If what happened in
February were a coup detat, then one would expect the public to express
some lingering support for their ousted president, or at least his party.
Yet Mikhail Dobkin, candidate of Yanukovychs Party of Regions received
somewhere in the neighborhood of 3-4%. Even in eastern Ukraine, Dobkin
failed to show much strength.
.
Poroshenko Wins a Decisive National Mandate
.
The biggest story of the Ukrainian elections was forecast by every major
opinion poll: Petro Poroshenko won a clear majority in the first-round of
voting, forty points ahead of Yulia Tymoshenko, another leader of the
democratic opposition that ousted Yanukovych.
