Zelensky shake up the swamp

Without waiting for official confirmation, the world decided that Vladimir Zelensky - an actor, not a rich citizen, has become president of Ukraine. "For the first time in Ukraine, the president is not an oligarch, but a man of the people. After such a triumph of the people who can say that, people do not decide anything. I really hope that there will be positive changes for the better, cardinal reforms will occur and Ukraine will occupy a worthy place in Europe," wrote in his Facebook page the activist of the United Congress of Azerbaijanis of Ukraine Farid Jamal.

Akif Hasanov, the former officer of the KGB of former Azerbaijani SSR, explains the victory of Zelensky by fatigue of Ukrainians from the same people who constantly appear on the political Olympus. Practically behind each of them there is are quite specific crimes against the people, the smallest of which is corruption. Those who are mired in lies, bribery, crimes against specific individuals, with their repeated vows of future preferences to the people, they did not particularly change their way of life even before important changes in power.

"Zelensky may also stumble on this post promising great personal preference, but he will shake up this swamp. He simply has no other way out, as a result, new faces will appear, and the old elite will, at best, rest, since these young people will fight for their seats and are unlikely to just give them up. There will be a serious redistribution of property and there is a chance that something will fall out of this wallet to the people. In any case, there will be an update," he believes.

A. Hasanov does not exclude that the new president will decide to return the former head of the Odessa region M. Saakashvili, who has already expressed a desire to reappear in Ukraine, from where Poroshenko set him up.

Political analyst Elkhan Shahinoglu explains the victory of Zelensky as a weak electoral propaganda of President Poroshenko, who, like a real Western Democrat, did not use administrative resources in the fight against a political opponent, and strong financial support from supporters of Zelensky. He was supported by the oligarch Kolomoisky.

Political analyst Shahin Jawarli draws attention to Zelensky's nationality. The paradox is that the Jews was chosen by the Ukrainians, whom official Russia calls fascists. Zelensky scored many votes even in the western part of Ukraine, traditionally called nationalist. Jafarli draws attention to the activity of Ukrainian businesspersons of Jewish nationality. Groizman is the prime minister of the country; famous oligarchs Kolomoisky, Pinchuk and Bogolyubov, Surkis, a prominent figure in business and sport, politician Vadim Rabinovich are in the country's politics.

Russian political analyst Alexander Karavayev writes about changing the policy of Ukraine in the Russian direction, who believes that Zelensky will be resourceful in initiatives to normalize relations in the economy. "After all, we are doing well. The fact is that despite all the successes of the Ukrainian economy with the EU (Ukraine is now the third exporter of food to Europe overtaking China) in the trade rating by country, Russia is still the leader in both exports and imports of Ukraine. Russia needs a step-by-step set of measures to normalize relations with Ukraine. Moscow needs to understand what it wants from the new Ukraine if it becomes more complementary to the Russian Federation," writes Karavayev on the network.

Elkhan Shainoglu sees no reason to expect changes in Azerbaijani-Ukrainian relations with the election of Zelensky to the presidency. The same was said in an interview with Turan by the Ukrainian political scientist Vadim Tryukhan.

"Zelensky will not be able to change the oligarchic system; on the contrary, after returning from exile, the oligarch Kolomoisky will return to active politics, and other oligarchs will become more active. Zelensky needs billions of dollars investment to rebuild a shattered economy that the West will not bring to Ukraine. Poroshenko did not receive such investments from the West, and Zelensky is still a "dark horse," besides, there is no information about the economic program of the new president.

Zelensky"s program for the Crimea and Donbass is not clear. Zelensky does not accept the occupation of these lands and does not want to continue the war with Russia. He may not continue the sharply anti-Russian policy of the predecessor. Putin will wish to meet with Zelensky, and if such a meeting succeeds, Ukrainian nationalists will come out on the streets of Kiev for a new political confrontation. Zelensky"s dialogue with Putin will cause a need for corrections in Ukraine"s foreign policy, which is beneficial for Russia, as it will weaken Western sanctions against the Russian Federation.

Zelensky is not a politician, the lack of political experience can play a cruel joke with him and Ukraine, which is in the sphere of Russia's interests, which undoubtedly is preparing now for the parliamentary elections in Ukraine scheduled for October 27, 2019," concluded E.Shahinoglu.
