The presidential election, a dramatic parliamentary crisis, and a controver-sial constitutional referendum have shaken the Ukrainian political scene.
In the election's first round of voting for the presidency on October 31, 1999, incumbent Leonid Kuchma received 36 percent of the vote, while his main rival, Petro Simonenko, of the Communist Party (CP), garnered 22 percent.
On December 15, Petro Simonenko appealed to parlia-ment, demanding it launch impeachment proceedings against Kuchma and declaring the decree an "act of national treason." On December 16, representatives of the leftist factions threatened to boycott parliamentary sessions unless a discussion of the decree was included in the parliamentary agenda.

NEW YORK: Leonid Kuchma may have trounced his nearest contender -- the Communist Petro Simonenko -- but his recent election to a second five-year term as Ukraine's president is no victory for democracy.
Partisan abuse of the country's administrative structures to discourage dissent is widespread, particularly the use of tax collectors to harass opponents.
On November 1, the day after the first round of voting that later pitted Kuchma against Simonenko, three governors were unceremoniously dismissed when returns in their oblasts did not favor Kuchma.

Kuchma, who had told the voters that the choice was between moving forward or returning to communism, saw his victory as a mandate for speeding up political and economic reforms.
In a mid-September poll, he had 24.8 percent of the vote, against 12.2 for Vitrenko; 9.9 for Simonenko; 8.6 for Moroz; 4.9 for Marchuk; 2.8 for Tkachenko; and 1.2 for Udovenko.

With the possible exception of two leftist candidates in the race - progressive Socialist Natalie Vitrenko and Communist leader Petro Simonenko - many voters may not see big differences between the incumbent and his most vocal critics, all of whom have held high-level posts in Kuchma's administration and in parliament.
Moroz's rating would surely be spiked if most supporters of Marchuk, whose rating was 4 percent in the poll, and Tkachenko, who was at 2 percent, were to join the Moroz camp.
But analysts say the looming presence of another candidate - Communist Party leader Petro Symonenko - is complicating what appears on the surface to be the obvious choice of Moroz.
