| Info | Former Premier Marchuk was presented (especially by the newspaper "Den," which he sponsors ) as a "strongman" a kind of Ukrainian General de Gaulle, whom the country urgently needs as it sinks into socio-economic chaos and is plagued by widespread corruption. Marchuk's campaigners made much of his former capacity as Ukraine's Security Service chairman (with the rank of general, no less) as proof that he is able to do away with corruption. (By the same token, they fail to mention his Soviet KGB activities). His main election slogan affirmed that Ukraine can overcome the current crisis "on its own." He also tried to pose as a centrist equally suited to representing both the western ("nationalist") and eastern (more Russia-oriented) parts of Ukraine.
Yaroslava Stetsko, leader of the Congress of Ukrainian Nationalists, said that her party will support Yevhen Marchuk's presidential bid. She added that this was a difficult decision for her organization, which had been persecuted by the KGB in the past. (General Yevhen Marchuk was the Ukrainian SSR's KGB first deputy chairman in 1990 and chief of the Security Service in independent Ukraine from 1991-1994).
