Quiet sabotage of officials and opened counteraction to democratization of society from the side of strengthening authorities played a spiteful joke on the romantic moods of Ukrainians of the early 90s of the last century. Creating the state of their dream the Ukrainian bureaucracy took in both poets and democrats. At first under the slogan of division and independence of authority judicial, executive and legislative power were removed from under public control, and then leased to oligarchic clans. Maybe, that is why the statements that Ukraine is still far away from true democracy go without demur. Though everybody has his/her own idea of true democracy.
