LXII No. 27 THE UKRAINIAN WEEKLY SUNDAY, JULY З, 1994 75 cents Kravchuk, Kuchma to face off in presidential race on July 10 by Marta Kolomayets Kyyiv Press Bureau KYYiv - Ukraine's citizens will choose between two Leonids - Kravchuk and Kuchma - when they go to the polls on July 10 to elect a new president. But no matter who wins, it seems that the country is headed toward a stark regional divide, with the industrialized east pulling for closer ties to Russia and the nationalistic west pushing for independent Ukraine's acceptance into the European community. in the first round of presidential elections, held on Sunday, June 26, the incumbent, President Leonid Kravchuk, captured 37.72 percent of the vote, while his former prime minister, Leonid Kuchma, finished sec– ond, garnering 31.27 percent. More than 68 percent of the electorate turned out on the last Sunday of the month, a clear, sunny day throughout Ukraine, to cast their ballots for a new presi– dent, as well as oblast, city and raion representatives. (Results for these local elections have not been corn- piled, but it is known that democrats in Kyyiv won 38 of the 75 seats in the city council.) Thirteen percent of the presidential vote was won by Oleksander Moroz, the current parliamentary speaker and leading Socialist; volodymyr Lanovy, a democrat and Western-oriented market reformer received 9.32 percent of the vote; followed by Уаіегіу Babych of the Ukrainian Financial Group, at 40 the youngest candi– date and the only Russian to run for the office, who received 2.39 percent of the vote.

A future voter seems to indicate a preference. December 1991, when the former Communist Party ide– ology secretary received over 60 percent of the popular vote, leading Ukraine along its path to independence, voiced no regrets about their decision three years ago. "1 believe that only Mr. Kravchuk could have kept us together, kept the country peaceful," said Daryna Dobchanska, who chose to vote for Mr. Kuchma this time. "But now we need change, a new leader who can offer us a better life," she added.

Lanovy and Moroz voters After the first round of voting, there was only a 6.5 per– cent spread between Messrs. Kravchuk and Kuchma, and the deciding votes will be those captured by Messrs. Lanovy and Moroz in the first round, totaling over 23 per– cent. Neither the democratic Mr. Lanovy nor the Socialist Mr. Moroz have been willing to turn their support over to either of the two top vote-getters. Because Mr. Kuchma is perceived as a reformer in the east, logic dictates that Mr. Lanovy's eastern con– stituency will turn out to vote for Mr. Kuchma. However, Mr. Lanovy's western voters will throw their support to Mr. Kravchuk. The Moroz vote is a bit trickier, as both Mr. Kuchma and Mr. Moroz have been referred to as the "nostalgia vote-getters." They represent ties to the former Soviet Union, a return to Russia, although Mr. Moroz has Rukh leader Yyacheslav Chornovil goes to the polling station.

No. 27 THE UKRAINIAN WEEKLY SUNDAY, JULY З, 1994 5 CCRF's 1 lth airlift brings much-needed medical technology to Ukraine by Roma Hadzewycz DOVER AIR FORCE BASE, Dei. - A Sl.l million magnetic resonance imaging (MR1) system was airlifted to Ukraine from this U.S. air force base on June 21, as the culmination of a two-year joint effort by the Children of Chornobyl Relief Fund and the Ukrainian National Women's League of America. The mobile MR1 system was installed two days later at the Kyyiv Emergency Hospital and Trauma Center, where it will be available to serve the needs of Ukraine's citizens and, most importantly, the children suffering the results of the Chornobyl nuclear accident's deadly fallout. The trailer containing the MR1, built by General Electric Medical Systems of Milwaukee, was loaded onto a huge C-5 Galaxy cargo plane, the third largest cargo plane in the world and the largest in the U.S., along with 12 pallets of assorted medical supplies, medicines and five neonatal incubators — in all, 55 tons of humanitarian aid valued at S3.5 million. The precious cargo was destined for 12 medical facilities in various regions of Ukraine, including Kyyiv, Luhanske, P Roma Hadzewycz Chernihiv, Lviv, Kharkiv, Donetske and Cherkasy.

Jaroslav Pryrist and the Rev. John Kulish, pastor of the Ukrainian Orthodox congregation of Kerhonkson. After the service, each of the priests expressed good wishes to all fathers, grandfathers and others performing parental roles, and exhorted the faithful to love one another and strive towards unity, so that Ukrainians, bound together by the same language, culture and 1000 years of Christian heritage, would eventually worship God united in one common faith. The Rev. Zayac continued the theme, while the Rev. Kulish also expressed gratitude to the UNA for 100 years of fraternal work on behalf of the Ukrainian community and Ukraine. The moleben ended with the singing of the prayer "Bozhe Уеіукуі, Yedynyi."

No. 27 THE UKRAINIAN WEEKLY SUNDAY, JULY З, 1994 11 A return trip to Ukraine: Kharkiv two years later by Уега Кар Special to The Ukrainian Weekly CONCLUSION Finally, we were on our way to Kharkiv. The six-and-a-half-hour trip going east from Kyyiv was quite differ– ent from the western half of Ukraine. The terrain is flat. The building of new homes is not as obvious as in the Bukovyna region. The roads seemed bet– ter though, or maybe it was just my imagination, since we were heading towards "my" city. The road from Kyyiv going east to Boryspil is an impressive four-lane high- way. After passing Boryspil airport, the road becomes two lanes. Questioning why they didn't continue such a highway all the way to Kharkiv, our driver mentioned that all dignitaries and businessmen went only to Kyyiv and then returned to the air- port. So, their lasting impression no doubt was that all roads in Ukraine are wonder– ful. Sad to say, this highway is only 16 kilometers long. Arriving in Kharkiv, І was surprised to see how little had changed in two years: no new buildings and very few renovations. We found our way easily to Hotel Kyyiv.
