Yanukovychism is a socially
conservative economically centre-left ideology based on the politics and beliefs of former Ukrainian president Viktor Yanukovych, who ruled between 2010 and 2014, and the
Party of Regions.
History
During the presidency of Viktor Yanukovych (2010-2014), some forms of Kuchmism can be seen again, however, this time Donetsk elites had more power. Following the Revolution of Dignity (or Euromaidan), on February 21, 2014, he fled the country.
A large number of corrupt politicians in the country have extremely close ties with
Russia. High levels of corruption are still visible to this day.
Party of Regions and the parties that formed shortly after its disbandment in 2014, like File:Oppobloc.png Opposition Bloc, File:Oppoplatforlife.png Opposition Platform - For Life, Our Land, Revival, and Nashi all classified themselves as
social liberal but were frequently authoritarian, kleptocratic, Russophile and oligarchical in practice. All of these parties were banned after the 2022 invasion, with Platform for Life and Peace surviving as a crippled remnant. However, it lost popular support, and many of its key members had fled Ukraine or were arrested, including former OPFL leader Medvechuk.
