 Undersecretary of State Paula Dobriansky visits Kyiv to size up election preparations (02/10/02)
Dobriansky, whose father was Lev Dobriansky, the noted Ukrainian American community leader and scholar, said she was not ready to draw conclusions on how transparent and fair the parliamentary elections would be simply based on the way the campaign season had begun.
In addition, Dr. Dobriansky was informed of at least one documented smear campaign and an unauthorized attempt to use the name of a popular candidate in a political bloc's title, as well as an effort to shut down a popular national television station.
Dobriansky, the highest-ranking Ukrainian American in the Bush administration, emphasized that simply conducting a free and open polling day does not meet the requirements if the point is to have fair elections.

 The Washington Diplomat
Dobriansky, the undersecretary of state for global affairs, has been trying to put out a lot of fires from her post at Foggy Bottom in Washington.
Dobriansky said that support of democratic institutions and good government is the centerpiece of the Bush foreign policy, adding that development aid should be provided only to those nations that have legitimate political systems and strong domestic policies.
Dobriansky, however, praised the conference for crafting a “truly global document” that has “brought us to the brink of a new era of sustainable development.” But she added that it’s important for the global community to move beyond words and take concrete steps to improve people’s lives.

 Foreign Affairs - Democracy Promotion - Paula J. Dobriansky and Thomas Carothers   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
I am frankly astonished that Undersecretary of State Paula Dobriansky attempts to refute the central thesis of my article: that the war on terrorism has impelled the Bush administration to seek friendlier relations with authoritarian regimes in many parts of the world for the sake of their cooperation on security matters.
Dobriansky claims that the administration always strikes the right balance between democracy and security, and that whenever the administration has encountered antidemocratic practices on the part of its security partners, it has raised a voice of opposition.
Dobriansky's insistence that there is no tension, and her relentless portrait of the United States as a country uniquely devoted to democracy promotion, is part of a pattern of rhetorical overkill by administration officials that weakens rather than strengthens this country's credibility in the eyes of others.

Larisa Dobriansky, currently the deputy assistant secretary for national energy policy at the Department of Energy—in which capacity she’s charged with managing the department’s Office of Climate Change Policy—was previously a lobbyist with the firm Akin Gump, where she worked on climate change for ExxonMobil.
