Topic: Leonid Chernovetsky


  
  Kiev City Mayor
Leonid Chernovetsky, a maverick nouveau riche whose bid for city hall was hardly taken seriously in the beginning, came out ahead.

In his mayoral campaign, Chernovetsky targeted the poor and the underprivileged, especially the elderly, most of whom were impoverished by the wild capitalism that accompanied the transition to a market economy.
