(рус) Журналист: Добрый день, Леонид Михайлович! В последнее время Вы категорически отказываетесь от любых публичных заявлений, на протяжении многих месяцев не давали никаких комментариев ни одной телекомпании. Поэтому у меня возникло много вопросов.

Saturday meeting at the Cabinet of Ministers devoted to problems in Kiev promised to be scandalous. But no scandal broke, the Cabinet of Ministers just gave recommendations to the Mayor’s Office, most of which Leonid Chernovetskiy called constructive and well-timed.

It was a little bit late, but I realized that it is impossible to administrate the capital and at the same time to be against the central authorities in the country because millions of Kiev citizens are behind me. But I can reassure you that I have always been and will continue being a man of principle concerning protecting the interests of Kiev citizens, whatever those in power might try to do to get me off this track by using their administrative power and resorting to lies and provocations.

commentators, analysts and political scientists, blank spots in facts and in their interpretations are a rarity in our information era), but for how it is said, or rather for what is not said but should be necessarily said on this or other subject. Kiev’s Mayor Leonid Chernovetskiy doesn’t participate in this presidential campaign, but at the same time, as head of the capital’s administration and as a high ranking official with a vividly expressed individuality, he has his own views on the pre-electoral horrors and the problems our country is facing today on the whole. Leonid Chernovetskiy answers questions suggested by the editors of Political Class magazine.

Kiev today is akin to The Vatican – a separate state in the country of Ukraine with its own political fights and budget wars. It’s the only city in Ukraine where district heads are not subordinate to the mayor; they are appointed and dismissed by the President of Ukraine. Kiev is the biggest donor to the country’s budget.
