Oleksandr Yakovenko (politician)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Oleksander Yakovenko was a candidate in the 2004 Ukrainian presidential election, nominated by the Communist Party of Workers and Peasants, which he has chaired since 2001; this party won 0.41% of the votes in the 2002 parliamentary elections. From 1993 to 1994 he was a chair of ecology department of the town council of national deputies in Enakievo (Donetsk region). Enakievo is the hometown of former Prime Minister of Ukraine Viktor Yanukovych. In his program he speaks in support of socialism, soviet power, and renewed Union. At the end of the program, he promises that if more than 3 million people vote for it, the elected president will have to conduct a Ukraine-wide referendum about unification of Ukraine, Russia, and Belarus into a single Union. If this happens, in his view, the problem of equal rights of Ukrainian and Russian languages will be resolved.
