  • The Negative Consequences of Proportional Representation in Ukraine
    THE NEGATIVE CONSEQUENCES OF PROPORTIONAL REPRESENTATION IN UKRAINE SERHIJ VASYLCHENKO POLITICAL GEOGRAPHER Abstract: Ukraine has changed its electoral law numerous times. The first two elections to the parliament in 1990 and 1994 employed a single-member district majoritarian system. The Verkhovna Rada elections in 1998 and 2002 used a mixed system with single- member districts and proportional representation. The parliamentary elections in 2006 and 2007 were purely proportional representation. Finally, the elections in 2012 went back to the mixed system. This article argues that the use of proportional representation has facilitated extensive manipulation in the Ukrainian political system through the creation of “party projects” and by severing the link between parliamentarians and their constituents. fter Ukraine gained its independence in 1991, it faced an urgent need Ato reform its electoral legislation to address new political realities – most importantly, the development of a multiparty system in place of the previous one-party system that had ruled the Soviet Union. According to the existing law adopted during the Soviet era, parties other than the Communist Party of the Soviet Union had no legal basis. That law laid out a first past the post majoritarian system in which the winner had to win an absolute majority of the votes.1 The opposition national-democrat deputies in the People’s Rada group in the first years of independence supported electoral law reform Serhij Vasylchenko is an independent political geographer in Ukraine, [email protected]. 1 Law “On elections of the people’s deputies of the Ukrainian SSR” from October 27, 1987, Vedomosti Verkhnoi Rady USSR, 1989 addendum to N 45, article 626 <http://zakon4.rada.

  • TRYZUB, the Name of This Restaurant, Means Trident in Ukrainian, and It Is a Symbol of National Identity for All Ukrainians
    TRYZUB, the name of this restaurant, means trident in Ukrainian, and it is a symbol of national identity for all Ukrainians. Millions of Ukrainians have perished through- out the centuries in the struggle for the freedom that this symbol signifies. The largest Tryzub in the world is found in the four story brickwork on the exterior of this building. Our mission is to create a Ukrainian restaurant which will present Ukrainian culture and culinary tradition in a pleasing sophisticated modern way. We offer you traditional Ukrainian cuisine with a fresh modern twist, adorned by the natural colorful components that we hope will help us eat healthfully and strengthen our connection to mother nature’s pantry. You will see some of the same natural vegetable based colors (the Carpathian Hutzul colors) that appear in our dishes in the ethnic art, such as the embroideries, wood inlays and pysanky (Easter eggs) on display through- out Tryzub. Feel free to check out our historical displays which depict the entire 1000 year history of Ukrainian civilization. We hope to uphold the Ukrainian traditions of great food and unabashed hospitality Thank you for coming “Smachnoho “ Bon Appetite and “Budmo” Cheers The 1000 year History of Ukraine is depicted in the dis- plays in Tryzub, including actual arftifacts from each era The history of Ukraine begins over a thousand years ago with the powerful empire of Ukraine in the ninth century. The Cossack nation, medieval Europe’s first democracy, came into existence in the middle ages . Later Ukraine flourished as part of Austria-Hungary and unfortunately deteriorated as a captive na- tion in the Soviet Union.

Headlining the show were singer/song- writer Vika Vasilevych of Ukraine and vir- tuoso violinist Vasyl Popadiuk, originally from Ukraine and now of Canada, with their respective bands. Also on the bill were the always popular Roma Pryma Bohachevsky Dance Workshop and the Dunai Dancers of Edmonton, Alberta, new- comers to the festival. Each group of dancers presented its unique version of the “Pryvit” (Welcome) number at the start of the program – the workshop dancers resplendent in their costumes modeled on garb worn by Kozak nobility and the Dunai members in a vari- ety of folk costumes representing diverse regions of Ukraine. The regional variety was wonderfully reflected also in the Canadian troupe’s choice of music and cho- reography. Other performers included the Ukrainian Lev Khmelkovsky Christine Syzonenko Chorus Dumka of New York, the Dzvin Male Violinist Vasyl Popadiuk and singer-songwriter Vika (Vasilevich) perform during the Ukrainian Cultural Festival at Soyuzivka.
