The results are preliminary. While the voices are being counted, let's recall the memorable accomplishments of the previous Rada.
The most Russophobic Rada in the history of Ukraine, the 8th legislature consisted of criminals and Maidan activists. Ten of them are ATO veterans, which means that they were killing fellow Ukrainians. The Rada's main accomplishment was the schism in Ukrainian society. The people's deputies began with lustration: dumpsters, zelyonka, and flour. They registered their aspirations to join NATO in the constitution. They terminated the friendship agreement with Russia. They censored Russian books. They banned Vkontakte and Yandex, along with broadcasts of Russian television channels. They banned the Russian language as well. They established an economic blockade of Donbass. They imposed martial law. They didn't strip immunity from the deputies. They didn't adopt a punishment for the unlawful enrichment of officials in power. Over his presidential term, Poroshenko's fortune increased by a factor of 96.
Pyotr Poroshenko, Former President of Ukraine: "We shouldn't allow anyone to impose on our country old, communist names or idols of Lenin, of which over 2,000 were scattered around Ukraine's cities and villages. Stalin and Lenin brought us no less suffering than Hitler."
They sanctioned the fight against history. Decommunization resulted in the demolition of 2,600 monuments. They banned St. George ribbons, and recognized the nationalists and rebels of OUN-UPA as veterans. Parubiy was the Lucifer of the Russophobic hell in the parliament. The permanent chairman and the main advocate of the glorification of Roman Shukhevich. The commandant of the Maidan uprising. Beatings, tortures, and bullying of the so-called titushky. He was once spotted carrying assault rifles. He delivered bulletproof vests to the mob that set the Trade Union House in Odessa on fire. He never concealed his Nazi attitude.
A photo from the 90s features Parubiy and Hitler's Wolf's Crosses, which became the emblem of Azov.
Andrey Parubiy, former chairman of Verkhovnaya Rada: "I'm an advocate of direct democracy. I've been establishing it on many levels. In my opinion, the key implementer of democracy was Adolf Hitler. We must remember that as well."
Parubiy introduced the concept of voting repeatedly until the required majority was achieved. The new Election Code was finally adopted after 16 failed votes. Bandera was declared a hero of Ukraine on the fourth try. It was Parubiy who canceled New Year's. On January 1st, Ukraine celebrated the Birthday of Bandera, a state holiday.
Andrey Parubiy: “My grandma comes from Babayev, Kharkov Oblast. She used to tell me about millions of dead Ukrainians in Eastern Ukraine, killed by the Kremlin's occupiers.”
Yuri Lutsenko is a drunkard, an official thug in power. He was released from prison right after the Maidan. Lutsenko has no law degree, which would seem like a key requirement for a prosecutor. In order to drag Lutsenko into the government, the parliament adopted a law that canceled another "weird and stupid" law, as Lutsenko called it later.
Yuri Lutsenko, Prosecutor General of Ukraine: "I got my law degree sitting on the suspects' bench, on the prisoners' bench."
There can be one diagnose for the 8th Rada: severe intelligence deficiency. Mental defectiveness has never been so obvious in the history of Ukraine. Lutsenko was the one who pressed charges against a person who proposed to lift the Donbass blockade and begin buying gas from Russia. It was also Lutsenko's idea to call Ukraine's neighbor an aggressor.
And here's Turchinov, the man who started the war in Donbass. The creator of ATO, who launched the punitive operation. He used to run the National Security Council and zealously promised to conquer Moscow. The bloody shepherd, he was literally preaching hatred towards moskals.
Alexander Turchinov, former Security Council secretary: "If there's a single hint there's some cooperation that increases Russia's defense capability, I'm sorry, but we're going to arrest and shoot the collaborators."
Radicals in the parliament were talking about putting needles under the nails of the Donbass terrorists. The commander of the Azov National Corps sat next to Right Sector leader Yarosh.
Dmitry Yarosh, former deputy of Verkhovnaya Rada: "Russia's century-old enemy of Ukraine. As long as any form of the Russian Empire exists, the people of Ukraine can't be truly independent."
The Verkhovnaya Rada legally recognized Russia as an aggressor. The people's deputies were teaching the PACE members to throw a Nazi salute.
“Glory to Ukraine! Glory to the heroes!”
“I'm not a ho, you're a ho! You're Putin's ho!”
“These are chemical protection gloves. We're all going to need them, if we have to shake the hand of a Russian delegate or touch the doorknob.”
The notorious Alexey Goncharenko, the turncoat from the Party of Regions. He used to take selfies with dead Odessians in the background.
“These are the remains of the separatist camp burning. We know that unfortunately, no less than ten of them died.”
The 8th legislature of the Verkhovnaya Rada will go down in history as the most prolific one. They introduced 13,000 bills and adopted 1,000 laws. The police were called to the Verkhovnaya Rada 15 times due to fights, brawls, and this grenade, brought there by gunner Savchenko. She promised to blow the thing up.
“Ka-boom. Shit your pants, huh?”
“You're worse than Yanukovich, you bastards.”
“Stop it, colleagues! Stop!”
