Reports by international governmental and non-governmental
organizations on the 2004 presidential elections in Ukraine
constituted a significant factor in generating, facilitating, and
completing the Orange Revolution. Ukrainian civil society, mass
media, courts, and political parties were the main driving force
behind the popular uprising that returned Ukraine to the path of
democratization it had embarked on in 1991. Yet, the unambiguous
stance and political weight of such institutions as the EU, PACE,
NATO, and, above all, OSCE played their role too. The democratic
movement benefited from the menace of international isolation and
stigmatization of the Ukrainian state, which was expected in case
President Leonid Kuchma had decided to prevent a repetition of the
second round of the voting.The volume collects not all, but some of
the most widely discussed reports, including English translations
of selected sections of the three reports produced by the CIS
International Observers Mission. The latter as well as a report by
an Israeli institute depart from the assessments of the other
organizations represented here, allowing for comparison of
diverging evaluations of the same events. The volume assembles full
or excerpted official reports of the International Republican
Institute, the Tel Aviv Institute for the Countries of Eastern
Europe and CIS, the European Network of Election Monitoring
Organizations, the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe,
the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe, the Office
for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights, and the Commonwealth
of Independent States. Contributions by Yevgen Shapoval and Roman
Kupchinsky introduce and conclude the collection.
