About Victor-Yanukovich Dear Friends, I have very responsible, but still very pleasant mission to proclaim the fact, which no one ever . doubted. but without which we can not regard the 2006 election campaign ofour party as officially starting one. It is certainly joyful for us to state that our Party will be led to the next elections and to signi?cant victories, that will be followed by difficult laborious work and great responsibility for the fate of the Ukrainian state, by our Leader, the Person with the name of whom the Ukrainian nation ties its hopes for peace, prOSperity and stable development. The electoral list of the Party of Regions will be headed by Victor Fyodorovich Yanukovich. For all of us this choice is unequivocal, but is dictated not by some PR developments on arti?cial creation of am image, but by the whole complicated and outstanding way of struggle, self- formation and great achievements of this person, who by all of his previous life has proven the right to become not only the party, but the national leader. Victor Yanukovich had to go through the hardest school of real life. Having grown up in harsh environment, Victor Fedorovich went through the bitter taste oforphanhood, misery, injustice, but has not broken himself, having been able to independently form himself as a wholesome and outstanding personality. The fate has never given him easy victories, but rather offered him a difficult, thorny way, that only few individuals are able of going through. And only thanks to such challenges and his personal staunehness, perseverance, wisdom and braveness at this intermediary stage of his life he became a real leader, an outstanding statesman, a wise and responsible politician. And he also became a kind friend and a teacher for us all, who were lucky to be his brothers-in-arms and party comrades. Understanding of premacy of not words, but outstanding and good deeds, not hypocritical complaints about the fate of abstract ?ordinary Ukrainians", but the ability to evaluate the honor, see and understand the issues of each citizen of Ukraine made him a real responsible leader. Achievements ofthe government of Yanukovich in the development of Ukrainian economy and. as a result, in the social Sphere, can not be doubted even by his worst opponents. It seemed like the fate itself gave Ukraine Yanukovich the President, who could for the first time in our new history provide us with a happy, peaceful and stable development of the country. But, when the intrigues of the power-that-be and the new opposition who used to be favorites of the same power put a cruel choice in front of him: the president?s office at the price of human blood or refusal from the gained victory, he chose a higher principle of humanism. This was the biggest and the most convincing moral victory of Victor Yanukovich. Maybe the Divine intent has determined that we live this fatal year of restoration of Kuchma regime, disregard of human lives and economic devastation, in order to make our party and its Leader more mature and responsible in their actions, and in order to make the people of Ukraine get rid of the orange illusion and make a conscious choice of a better fate. At the end, I can not help but say a few words about a topic very important for me as a son of Vyacheslav Chomovil. Differently from small-scale politicians, who falsi?ed and discredited the political heritage of Vyacheslav Chomovil. Victor Yanukovich, never boasting of the fact, but in . general terms and in numerous details has continued his cause. 1BO10-ADVANCE AND case lb5-Z l?lleG U/le/lt? Page 6 OT 154 Pagelunr Z49U I congratulate you that our Party team is going to the next most important elections with its unanimous leader at the head.

Page 9 OT 154 Z491 QW Party of Regions Stump Speech . Key Elements 0 As I travel around the country and hear from my fellow citizens all over our great nation, I hear the same thing everywhere I go our government has failed us the Orange revolution was a ?hoax.? Yushchenko, Tymoshenko, Poroshenko they sold us a bill of goods. They promised to change government and make it work for people to make our lives better to bring us jobs, to provide the social services that we need, to provide housing, to stabilize prices, and to give us wages and pensions that will allow us to live and raise our families. 0 But every day I hear the same thing from the people I meet not only have Yushchenko and Tymoshenko n_ot dealt with these problems but they have made them worse 0 Fewer people havejobs today and more and more of our neighbors and fellow citizens throughout our country suffer in poverty. Prices go up and up, and wages for those who are lucky enough to have ajob do not provide for their needs. and men and women have no way to buy even the basic things they need to provide for their families. 0 And the situation is even worse for our senior citizens and pensioners. Pensions . are dwindling and these brave citizens who have worked their whole lives for the ?dream" of a prosperous and thriving Ukraine are forced to live in abject poverty because of the arrogance and ?greed? of those in power. 0 And, when the hue and cry from the people became so great that Yushchenko and Tymoshenko were forced to respond, what do the do they give us price caps That's right price caps. All this has done has been to make the basic necessities you and I need even more expensive to put them even further from our grasp. ?grieve" for my you, your family members, and other every day people who, through no fault ofyour own, face untold difficulties each and every day just to make ends meet. 0 This is not the Ukraine we dreamed of it is not the Ukraine that Yushchenko and Tymoshenko promised us and it is most certainly not the Ukraine we deserve 1801 O-ADVANCE AND TRAINING-000003 case Document le-Z l?lleG U/le/lb Page 1U OT 154 Z492 0 Those in power'have wasted the opportunity to bring Ukraine to greatness and . provide it?s citizens with the lives and opportunities they deserve. Yushchenko, Tymoshenko, and the rest of their ?cronies" they have proven to us that a_ll they care about is increasing their own personal fortunes expanding their own political power and ?ghting with each other in petty squabbles that have nothing to do with improvingthe living situation for average citizens. Yushchenko was right to dismiss the government it was the right thing to do. But, it does not absolve him ofhis responsibility for his failures. Yushchenko and Tymoshenko should be ashamed of what they have done to the people of the Ukraine. and should be even more ashamed of what they have failed to do. 0 You know it in your mind and in your heart more deeply than my words can describe. Yushchenko and Tymoshenko have f_ai_l?_d you they have failed your children they have M99 your parents and they have squandered the chance to make our lives better they have the Ukraine 0 They should be ashamed that they have put their own ?petty" interests ahead of rescuing the great people of this country from the poverty, unemployment, and miserable standard of living that they force us to bear. 0 While our recent past has been a grim tale of greed and lack ofcompassion, I am proud to say that our future provides us opportunity. That is right, yo_u hold the key . to your future in your own hand. 0 In March, the citizens of the Ukraine have the opportunity to make your voices heard to tell Yushchenko to tell Tymoshenko and to tell the rest of the selfish who have held power that it is time for a change. 0 With your vote you can tell those in power that you will no longer stand idly by while our jobs disappear while our pensions shrink to nothing prices for food and other basic necessities skyrocket out of reach and while our government does nothing concerned only about themselves. 0 With your vote you can make the Party ofthe Regions the voice for the people you can make us your voice. And, make no mistake, we will be your voice. 0 With a majority in Parliament, the Party of the Regions will the government to focus all it?s energy, all ofits resources, and all of commitment to one thing - making sure that you and your family can afford to live that you have a place to live that you have ajob that you can afford to buy the necessities oflife and that you can provide for your children so they have a bright future. 1 801 O-ADVANCE AND TRAINING-000009 case Document le-Z l?lleG U/le/lb Page 11 OT 154 Z495 - This is what the people ofthe Ukraine need this is what they deserve and this is what the Party of the Regions will accomplish. Our platform is not a complicated one we don?t attempt to ?bedazzle? our fellow citizens with lofty promises or grand ?schemes." We are mt Yushchenko or Tymoshenko we do not promise things we know we can?t deliver or pretend to care about problems that we have no intention of dealing with. This is the government we have not the government we need. The goals of a Party of the Regions parliament are simple, and they are straightforward: - stabilize prices so people can afford the things they need - reduce unemployment and give people good-paying jobs - give people a proper wage and a proper pension - a Party ofthe Regions parliament will not rest while a single one of our fellow citizens must suffer in poverty. We have speci?c proposals and ideas that have been proven to work that we will discuss during the campaign all we ask is that you listen and then decide for yourself. I am con?dent that we will earn your trust and your support. One thing that I do wish to make clear from the outset is that our success depends on repairing and strengthening our relations with Russia. The ?anti-Russia" policies of Tymoshenko and Yushchenko have hu_rt us a_l of us, and we cannot strengthen our economy without greater co-operation and mutual relations with Russia. Those in power have proven this for us no further evidence is necessary. A Party of the Regions parliament will re-establish a ?special" relationship with Russia that will be of great bene?t to both of our great countries. No, some will criticize us forthis and those in power already have they will bellow that our views are ?anti-Ukraine? and that we care little for our own country. You and I both know this is not true that this is nonsense. i ?rst and always am proud Ukrainian. There is nothing I care about more deeply than a thriving, prosperous, and independent Ukraine with a rule of law that serves our citizens. To have this to realize our dream for the full potential ofour great nation, we need to work with those who can help to join in partnerships with those who can aid or assist us in reaching our goals. 1801 O-ADVANCE AND TRAINING-000010 case uocument le-Z l?lleG U/le/lb Page 12 OT 154 Z494 Russ:a can be our friend can by our ally and can be a partner not a superior . entity but a partner. A Party of the Regions Parliament will work to make this happen. 0 One important step in this direction would be to recognize the important role that Russian (nationals/ethnics) play in the fabric of our Ukrainian citizenry by making Russian the second ?of licial" language of the Ukraine. Many countries have more than one of?cial language, and it serves to strengthen and de?ne a national identity for that country that is unique and unassailable. We must do this in the Ukraine so that we can build a future in which a_l Ukrainians share in the prosperity and strength that you and I can build together. 0 This is who we are and this is what we believe we hide nothing we don?t ?shade" or ?hedge" we tell you what we believe and what we would ?ght for and we ask you decide for yourself. - If you believe that you are better off that things in the Ukraine are getting better, that our economy is thriving then the Party of the Regions is not for you. But if you believe. as we do, that Yushchenko. Tymoshenko, and those in power have failed you that they have put their own interests ahead ofyours and that they have failed do that which we all know needs to be done to make our lives better then we ask you to join us. . A Party of the Regions parliament will give you 9953 your voice in government. We MU put all of our commitment behind policies and programs that will give you a level of ?nancial safety so that you can provide for your family. And we force government to stop thinking about themselves, and thinking about helping people. 0 We don?t have the Ukraine we deserve, but with your help, with your partnership together we can build the Ukraine we have all dreamed of for so many years. 1801 O-ADVANCE AND TRAINING-000011 case Document le-Z l?lleG U/le/lb Page 15 OT 154 249:) udux< OUTLINE FOR SPEECH . Welcome to our Party Congress. As we gather today, we can see the challenges we face as a nation. But we can also see. gathered in this hall, the way to solve our problems. The Party of Regions has been tested, and we are ready to meet the great challenges that Ukraine faces today. We are united notjust in our political ideology, but in our love of country. Our nation is ready to take its place among the great nations of the world. But to do so, we must start anew, and change the course that Ukraine will travel in the years ahead. This Party Congress represents a new for Ukraine and for the Party of Regions. We have a starting with the Parliamentary Elections in March to change the road that Ukraine will travel in the years ahead. Today, we come together to say to all Ukraine and to the world that the Party of Regions is ready to lead Ukraine down the right to a better future, and we are ready to lead us there today. History'will be thejudge of what we did in power, and what others have done. And the verdict of history will not be kind to those who have failed to lead Ukraine to a better place this past year. Everywhere I go from to _l hear the same complaint and our people say that our government has failed us. Just look at what Leaders of the Orange Revolution said. and then look at what they did. They said they would change our government and make it work again for the people. Instead, they have given us one of the most irresponsible governments the modern world has seen, a government of bickering, of scandal and of resignations and policy reversals. They said they would bring us ?ve million jobs by accelerating an economy that was already growing at a record pace. Instead we have lost jobs, and millions are losing hope. The President and the Prime Minister promised to control prices and increase wages. And what has happened? Prices rose through the roof and wages have fallen through the ?oor. Not only have they failed to deal with these and other problems, their failed leadership has actually made the problems worsebetter? 1801 O-ADVANCE AND TRAINING-000012 case Document le-Z l?lleG U/le/lb Page 14 OT 154 I tell you when the people return the Party of Regions to Ukraine will do better. We will improve your life today and in the future. This government has two fundamental the wrong people are running it, and they are pursuing the wrong policies. Just look at their approach to skyrocketing prices. At ?rst Yushchenko and Tymoshenko stood by and did nothing, until the cries from the people became so loud that they could no longer ignore them. When they finally were forced to respond, the wrong people in government choose the wrong policy to deal with the problem. They chose price caps, which have only made the problem worse. The cost of basic necessities has risen, and now the cost of living is sliding further and further from the grasp of more and more of Ukraine?s people. - They promised hope. They promised jobs. They promised an Orange where Ukraine would ?ourish and all would be well. But their revolution was a carried out for the cameras and not for the people. This is not the Ukraine we dreamed of. This is not the Ukraine that all ofour people deserve. Ukraine deserves a government as good as its people. And that is the government that the Party of Regions will give and let me tell you how we will do it. we will change the people at the helm of the government. Yushchenko and . Tymoshenko and the cronies they have placed in power care only about themselves and their friends not about our people and our future. They have spent their time in government focused on a single how to increase their own and their families personal fortune. We have assembled a team who will put the people first. and who will not spend their days scheming to advance themselves at the public expense. Second, we will change the policies that this government has pursued, so that Ukraine again can pursue the path of progress. Today, I want to talk with you about those policies, and share with you our plans to bring change and reform Ukraine. The biggest challenge that we face today is in our economy. Early next year we will unveil the most comprehensive economic plan in Ukraine's history. In that plan we will present to all of our country and for all over the world to see how we intend to get back to the time when our economy was growing by over 12% a year. That was the time when we last managed this economy. 1801 O-ADVANCE AND TRAINING-000013 case Document le-Z l?lleG U/le/lb Page lb OT 154 Our economic plan has three fundamental goals: . 0 To stabilize prices so people can afford the things they need: 0 To reduce unemployment and give people good paying jobs; - And to give people a proper wage and proper pension. The Party of Regions in Parliament will not rest while a single one of our fellow citizens suffers in poverty. We will not let the current government continue to destroy the economy that we worked so hard to build. To make our economic plan work in the real world, Ukraine must take advantage of our unique place in both geography and history. The Tymoshenko/Yushchenko government has done its best to burn the bridges with Russia. and the anti-Russian policies of both Tymoshenko and Yushchenko have hurt us all. Ukraine must build bridges to Russia and to the West. We are uniquely and powerfully situated - to have a special relationship with Russia. and a strong relationship with the West as well. But we can not do that if we have leaders who believe that Russia is not our friend and that only through alliance with Europe can we achieve prosperity and progress. Our opponents believe that to open a road to Europe. we must close the road to Russia. Nothing could be further from the truth. And nothing can be more hurtful to Ukraine?s short and long term economic well being. . In power, we will build bridges to our cast and to our west. And recognizing the great potential for economic growth that a special relationship with Russia will provide, we will work to make Russian the second official language of Ukraine. Many countries around the world have more than one of?cial language. In case after case, this reality serves to strengthen and de?ne a national identity for those countries. Russian as the second of?cial language of Ukraine is one way we will build new bridges to our friends and neighbors. It is one way we will create newjobs and recognize the unique role that Ukrainians of Russian origin play in the fabric of our society. And we will strive to change other policies as well. Today our are being over taxed and under served by Ukraine?s government. in power, we will ?ght for a new tax policy that decreases taxes collected on wages and halts the arbitrary activities of tax collectors. And we will put a cap on something that will work for people in the real world - not a disastrous cap on prices which skewers the market and results in higher prices for all, but a cap on taxes, which will lower the general percentage of taxes collected by tying the tax rate to economic growth in Ukraine. It?s a simple and fundamental principle taxes shouldn?t grow while an economy is shrinking. it?s a policy we will practice in government that will work well for all our people. 1 801 O-ADVANCE AND TRAINING-000014 case Document le-Z l?lleG U/le/lb Page lb OT 154 Z4925 And we will end the greedy power grab of a central government that is attempting to . control all aspects of our economy and life. Instead. we will support power and the development of stronger local governments by assigning more power to individual regions. Unlike our opponents, we truly believe the people should have the power over their government. That is why we will work to have governors and local of?cials elected by the people. and not appointed by the national government. if people elect their local of?cials, then those of?cials will be more responsive and do a betterjob protecting your ?nancial well being and delivering social services. The time has come to end the eronyism and incompetence of the Yushchenko/Tymoshenko era, and replace it with a government that believes in the people and works for the people. And we won?t stop there. The purpose of government should be to protect its people not cause deliberate hardships. That is why we will Oppose an abrupt end of subsidies to farmers and minersjust so Ukraine can be admitted to the World Trade Organization. The Party of Regions believes that these subsidies should be gradually reduced over time and notjust cut ofT all at once. ln power, we will take the side of farmers and miners. not bankers and bureaucrats. And to protect those who lost all their money when the Savings Bank of Ukraine collapsed, the Party of Regions will support using some of the money that the government gets from the sale of the Kryodizhstal Steel Plant to pay back the people who . were hurt in that scandal. That is the peoples? money and some of it should go to the people who have been hurt the most. And so my friends and colleagues that is our agenda. To restore the economic vitality that Ukraine enjoyed when we last managed the economy. To build bridges to the West and to the East, so that Ukraine can take advantage of the assets we have been given. To stand with people who are hurting the most? by protecting their pensions when they are old and the subsidies that farmers and miners rely on to stay alive today. And to re-establish our special relationship with Russia. by making Russian the second of?cial language okarainc. By pursuing these policies we can improve your life today and improve Ukraine for tomorrow. My 1 love Ukraine. it's a beautiful country and have seen it from end to end. 1 BO10-ADVANCE AND TRAINING-000015 base Document le-Z l?lleCl U/le/lti Page 1/ OT 154 Z499 Being out ofoffice this past year has been liberating. lt has freed us from the past. lt has .- freed us to pursue new ideas and new solutions. It has challenged us to get close to the people and hear what they are saying and what they want from their government. We have heard and we are ready to provide the strong leadership that is needed to give the people the government they want and the life that they deserve. I know that if we come together, if we work together, we can achieve great things. Today, we do not have the Ukraine we deserve. But with your tomorrow we will together build the Ukraine ofour dreams. A land of peace. A place of prosperity. And a homeland for our people where generations can live and prosper together. This is our dream. And with your help this will become Ukraine?s reality. 1801 O-ADVANCE AND TRAINING-000016 Case I Document 155-2 I?llea U/le/lb Page 15 CT 154 Pagelust ZDUU -: 5 ?My? 5 Dear Congress Delegates, First years of the 2 st century will be inscribed in the history of Ukraine as a period when the nation - for the first time throughout its period of independence ?stepped onto the accelerated development path. . One could observe it with a naked eye: the legacy of the past, especially in such sensitive areas as freedom of speech, was very notable. But people still sensed changes for the better. Positive tendencies in the economic development brought about a shi? in people?s perception from uncertainty about the future towards con?dence in their state, in its capability to protect a man of labor. Our government had accomplished many things towards this end. According to key indicators of economic development its performance has been recognized as most productive over the entire period of independence. We were fully committed to continuing to pursue the policy aimed at turning Ukraine into Eastern 6? Europe 3 economic tiger? We had all the capacity to make it happen. Our plans were destroyed by people who were a?er one thing: money and power. For that, they afforded turning Ukraine into a testing ground to experiment with techniques of ousting legitimate power in a so called ?revolutionary? way. As concerns the bloodless resolution of last year?s orange adventure I may say with responsibility: . it is us rather than them who successfully passed this civic maturity test. It was our supporters who endured the orange and paid the price of humiliation to save the nation from a fratricidal conflict. It was our steadfast stamina and responsibility for the fates of 48 million that made the world acknowledge: Ukraine is indeed a civilized state. Boris Pasternak once wrote: ?with face to face the face isn?t seen?. At an arm?s length, Maidan leaders might have resembled Che Guevara. Just a year later, they are now more similar to the picture of Dorian Grey to the people. The problem of today?s government is not their overly ambitious commitments. Their problem is the people asking today why even a portion of those commitments are failed to be delivered. The year of 2005 will be remembered in Ukraine?s history as a year of losses and frustrations. Stability has been replaced with continuous crises - gas crisis, meat crisis, sugar crisis and what have you. Prices skyrocketed, the country turned into a unreliable, unstable and unpredictable partner. . The deepest crisis however turned out to be the crisis of power. 18010-ADVANCE AND TRAINING-000017 case Document lbL?-Z l?lleG Ulle/lt? Page 19 OT 154 ZbUl 2 Just recall the scandals shaking corridors of the previous power. They did take place. But even most notorious of them couldn?t match the ones that would break out in past 12 months and that were witnessed not only by Ukrainians but also by the whole world. This leads me to asking a question: could they have been links of one chain? And could they have aspired for one goal to ?nally turn our state into a marginal formation, without any future, . stagnating on the territory of the former How can one otherwise explain the fact that the orange power ended up being totally corrupt? And that having offered the so called ideals ofthe Maidan to the people they immediately rushed to achieve their genuine key objective ownership redistribution? And that within a record-breaking period of time, they ousted over 18 thousand experienced professionals from the state apparatus? And that their of?ces were immediately ?lled with buddies and relatives who turned out to be seroungers, let alone their professional ignorance? And that the foreign policy reality now is such that domestically manufactured products may sooner than later appear to be non-competitive? This last factor may bring about unpredictable effects and seriously destabilize the situation not only within the nation but also in CEE countries and beyond alike. In my numerous recent trips to Ukraine?s regions 1 have been repeatedly asked: why did it occur and do we stand a chance to break out of this nightmare? . I say: it happened because the new leadership instead of caring for the nation are preoccupied with grabbing more and more power and making more and more pro?t for themselves. in the west of Ukraine I asked my interlocutors: you folks supported the orange power, you were the prime source of the Maidan human resource. How many of your kin and had had to emigrate for work eouldvafford repatriation and domestic, decently paid employment a?er the orange revolution? Silence was an answer. I told them: you are supporting the pro-western policy of the orange. This is your right. But are you prepared to pay the petrol and gas prices that Western states pay to Russia? Here too, they stayed mute. Unlike our opponents constituents, supporters of the Party of Regions realize the reason, or rather who is to blame for the misfortunes that so abundantly spilled out a?er the advent to power of the half-baked revolutionaries. I think that our key strength is that we were able to preserve our supporters, our voters. Like before, people have trust in us and no political technology tricks can shake this status quo. No filthy PR techniques however cynical they are will ever shake their persuasion in the right choice they made a year ago. . Our political opponents have no chances to win a single bit of our electoral space even if they invest in the elections all the cash eamed from the sale of another ?Krivorizhstal?. 1801 O-ADVANCE AND TRAINING-000018 case Document lbL?-Z l?lleG Ulle/lt? Page ZU OT 154 3 Because we and not they know what to do. Because it is us and not them - who are professionals and know how to reach national prosperity. Because it is us and not them who are prepared to offer to Ukrainians a program of overcoming deep social and economic crises created by the orange coup. . What does it take? Let me brie?y describe the essence of the program of the Party of Regions. The programs with which we are bound to win at the 2006 elections. In domestic policy. We perfectly understand that a genuine democracy is impossible wherever poverty and unemployment prevail. The promises to instill the rule of law or to eradicate corruption without doing away with economic causes of these phenomena exemplify sheer populism and dcmagogy which today?s power is demonstrating more than convincingly. Therefore, early next year, the Party of Regions will promulgate its plan outlining the ways of Ukraine?s economy reversal to the state when the GDP growth rates were over 12 percent. May I remind you that this was the growth rate attained by our government. Without going into details of this plan and the suggested strategy, 1 will only point out that we are looking into implementing the main state programs we had developed whereby the whole economy of Ukiaine will be evolving. We will continue structural reforms launched in 2003-2004. We will pursue a balanced and responsible budget policy. We will cut taxes and liquidate the tax burden. Restrictions will be put in place due to which administrative leverage will not be able to control domestic market pricing. Prices growth will be restrained by cutting tax rates and their dependence on the national economy development growth . rates. A simple basic principle will work. taxes don? go up as long as economic growth rates are not Furthermore, an at least two-year long moratorium on amending tax laws will be instituted. We intend to reverse to an investment-innovative development model, to revive economic breakthrough generators: technoparks, priority development areas, free economic zones. It?s a matter of honor for us to restore a favorable investment climate in Ukraine. We commit ourselves to doubling state investments in agro-industrial complex development in three years. We will pave the road to new technologies in the rural areas. Power decentralization will boost macroeconomic growth and reanimation of small and medium- size businesses activity. Reforms we will pursue in local self-government will rest on direct elections of regional and local administrations leaders. Regional communities, acting through their representatives in local councils will autonomously shape up and enforce local budgets. . Moving forward to a federative state system will enable alleviating a deep split-up triggered after the orange jingoes came to power. In case that today?s political and administrative status quo remains in place, mutual between communities with different historical past. 1BO10-ADVANCE AND TRAINING-000019 case Document 1135-2 l?lleG U/le/lb Page OT 154 4 cultural and mental identities will only be exacerbated. And no calls for alignment for the sake of unitarity will help. Only existence of federative subjects can help preserve unity within the diversity of regions. otherwise the sword of Damocles threatening disintegration will always loom over Ukraine. . In the social domain the Party of Regions is committed to provide employment to each citizen in need of job in accordance with his/her quali?cation. experience and expertise with an adequate compensation that will ensure decent living and savings opportunities. to give social protection to disadvantaged and limited capacity citizens; due respect to the family and protection ofits values; highly professional military reliant on domestic industries, guaranteeing reliable protection of interests of military service people and their families. We will effectively rather than declaratively reform the youth policy raising the level of social protection to students: annual preferential fares, rise in stipends up to the minimum cost of living. The youth lending funds will be increased to allow young people to buy education and housing. The Party of Regions stands for putting in place a new trade union system which will defend hired labor interests at any enterprise irrespective of the form of ownership. Self-suf?ciency of the Pension Fund will be guaranteed. The Party of Regions believes that Ukrainian citizens? savings lost as a result of the USSR disintegration must be recovered with monies earned from the sale of ?Krivorizhstal?. This is the people?s money which is why its major proportion must be returned to them. . We stand for an official recognition of the Russian language as the second official language in Ukraine. Quite a few states worldwide including Western Europe are bilingual. But does it threaten their national identity? Our motto is: two languages, one nation! The question of the Russian language status does not have a direct bearing on our relations with Russia. Nevertheless, it is a key for understanding why orange leaders created so many problems for the Ukrainian people. In this connection. let me outline our foreign policy priorities that the Party of Regions will pursue after taking power. Dear delegates! Our party does not decline the idea of Ukraine?s European integration. This is our principal position, as well as our response to our political opponents accusing us of a solely Eurasian orientation. Alongside that, we maintain that without close economic cooperation with our great Northern . neighbor Ukraine is unable to become the West?s equal partner in the conceivable future. Moreover: by neglecting Russia?s strategic interests Ukraine has put itself in a situation when its conforrnist pro-westem policy has become of concern to the West itself. 1 BO10-ADVANCE AND TRAINING-000020 case Document l?lleO U/le/lb Page 22 OT 154 What can Ukraine's associated membership in the EU and NATO bring to Brussels and Washington if it occurs without account for geopolitical realities? We can con?dently argue: nothing but big problems since in that case the West will be faced with an adequate response from Russia for which it is a matter of their national security. . In any case, foreign political priorities may not be de?ned the way the current power does: without a scrupulous modeling of possible scenarios in immediate, medium and far-fetched term. The Party of Regions considers that at this point in its historic development Ukraine must pursue a policy of sensible balancing between the East and the West. Being as pragmatic in politics as we are, we will build on an assumption that foreign political priorities must work for the bene?t of the national economy and well-being of our citizens rather than for the sake of satisfying vested interests of individual financial-industrial groups and forces backing them. Hence, if cutting subsidies to the agriculture or coal industry are only needed to speed up Ukraine?s accession to the WTO, we are against any haste in such accession. lf integration in the Single Economic Space promotes social and economic advancement of our state - we are for the SES. Dear delegates! One of the causes of the acting power?s crisis is a failure to deliver promises. The Party of Regions will break this vicious circle of govemments? and deputies? irresponsibility before the nation. . We are the only force in Ukraine that presents its election commitments as a mutual responsibility borne by voters and politicians. Therefore. in the face of all delegates and guests present in this hall I want to solemnly declare: We warrant that people?s deputies from the Party of Regions and the government formed by them will, within three years after coming to power, secure the fulfillment of promises given to voters. Otherwise, both the government and deputies from the Party of Regions having formed it will voluntarily resign. This is the word we are giving today to the people. And everyone who knows us has had many opportunities to get reassured: the Party of Regions (the speaker pauses, smiles looks into the audience and speaks on) is not about dead-heads! Dear guests! Let me spend a few moments to talk about who we are hading towards victory with, who we nominate for deputy candidacy at the coming elections. Our party slate carries the names of people who have shared our political vision and values for a considerable while. They shared the bitterness of temporary setbacks with us, together with us they . endured political repressions and cheating. These are the people that never betrayed and never changed sides. They never rushed to offer their services to yesterdays? opponents. 1BO10-ADVANCE AND TRAINING-000021 case uocument le-Z l?lleG U/le/lb Page ZS OT 154 ZbUb Most of them were nominated by regional organizations. Our candidates are a sort of a collective portrait of Ukraine representing nominees from all regional communities of Ukraine. . For instance, (speaks a respective name) runs as a candidate from Eastern Ukraine. (Another name is spoken) runs from Western provinces. (Name) is widely known in Crimea, (name) enjoys common renown in and around Kiev. This slate also includes representatives of ally parties that expressed their commitment to persevere with struggle under the Party of Regions banners and have joined our party ranks. These are very experienced politicians. Once elected to the parliament they will in a speedily and professional manner put in place the legal framework which is essential for implementing our anti-crisis program. Dear deputies! A year ago we stood at the Railroad terminal square in Kiev joined by 30 thousand coalminers ready to go and unblock the government?s building in order to save the country from the economic collapse. They only waited for a signal. 1 came out to my fellow and said to them: keep waiting, I?ll be back. And then, I left for the roundtable meeting. What happened next is common knowledge as well as common knowledge of why i couldn?t be back with the miners. I asked to let them know that I urged them to get back home as otherwise people?s blood could . have shed. It took a year to be back. Which is not too long, especially if one recalls that the Party of Region was compared with Phoenix that revives from ashes. Our party today enjoys the highest popularity across the whole of Ukraine. And this is only the beginning as the struggle has just started. 1 want to call upon all Congress delegates, all members of the Party of Regions and along with them - millions of our voters to join this struggle with optimism and belief. Together we will by all means win and make our compatriots lives happier. This won't happen ?one, ?ne day". This will happen very soon!

Zn?bhhj .0 Report Of Victor Yanukovich at the Congress of the Party of Revions Dear Delegates! Dear Friends and Associates! Our Congress is taking place in very important time. Election campaign has started in Ukraine. It won?t be an exaggeration of I say that our country has not known elections, upon which so much would depend on. Their results will have decisive signi?cance for the further history of Ukraine, for the life of its every citizen. As you know. since the beginning of the new year the political reform will come into force. It will lay the foundation of steady, democratic system of the parliamentary type in Ukraine. This means that alter the elections a new phase of the political history of our country, as well as the new stage in its economic and social life will begin. The parties, that form a majority in the parliament and create a coalition government will be able to take an active part in its building. Those parties will ensure their political long life and will be able to determine the political landscape of our country in the future.. Those parties that do not receive the trust of the people will be doomed to the role of reserve player and with the time leave the political arena Elections in 2006 will become the moment of truth, which will determineresponsible politician. Who is able to live up to the promises, and who is not able to keep the word Who offers a well thought-through program of leading the country out of the crisis, and who is driving the country even deeper into the crisis. I am sure that the people will make the right choice and entrust the Party of Regions to take responsibility for their well-being and for the fate of the country. I am sure that we will be well worth ofthis high honor and will ful?ll out solemn duty before the older generation and our children. it was us who were chosen by the fate to return the economy to the path of stability and growth, and provide decent life and assurance of tomorrow to our people. It will not be an easy thing to do. because never ever has our country been kicked back so far thanks to . (quote), irresponsible actions of the government, (unquote). 1BO10-ADVANCE AND TRAINING-000031 case uocument lb5-Z l?lleG U/le/lb Page 55 OT 154 2 The whole world has become a witness of the troubles that fall upon our suffering peoplejust during one year of leadership of the ?orange?. These are crises of different kinds gas, meat, sugar. it?s hard to remember all of them. But the biggest is the crisis of power, which added a deep paralysis to its unprofessionalism. The immortal character of Bulgakov, Prof. Preobrazhensky was truly right, when he said that the biggest reason of mess in the country is the ?mess in the heads". i think this would be the diagnosis he would give to the current generation of home-grown revolutionaries. The lack of well thought-through concept of development of the country lead to dramatic deterioration of the health of the economy. As you know, all macroeconomic indicators have gone down. Following them, the standard of living of the citizens has gone down as well, But the key issue is the helplessness and lack of principle of the new government, which destroyed people's trust in its ability to change something for the better. The society is again seized by the indifference and fear of tomorrow, which we forced to retreat in the previous years. In my opinion, this is one ofthe key losses of Ukraine in the last year. . Lack of real steps in economy the ?orange" have largely compensated by the moral terror against those who think differently. In this direction they have undertaken such violent activity, that medieval inquisition lead by Torquemada looks like innocent kids at their background. It is not a joke over 18 000 professionals, whose only fault was dislike ofthe orange color, were ?red from the executive power bodies during several months. They, according to the new government, were machinating, creating conspiracies and prevented it from the work for the benefit of the Ukrainian nation by all means. However, our people bare smart and very well understand, what prevents a ?bad dancer" from dancing well. Despite the suffering of the people, the orange leaders continue to fight for the power in a most cynical and shameless way. The hunger for power has absolutely ?lled their minds. At the time, when the growing in?ation takes the last from the pockets of the pensioners, doctors and teachers, the government increases their salary by several times. They were able to dignify themselves, quote, in the foreign policy front. unquote. 1801 O-ADVANCE AND TRAINING-000032 case Document le-Z l?lleG U/le/lb Page 54 OT 154 3 Instead of a well-balanced foreign policy, primarily strengthening connections with Russia, the ?orange team" thoughtlessly and hastily drives the country towards the European Union. This is the place where Ukraine is not expected. at least for the next l0 years. In such conditions the Party of Regions did not have any other choice than to become an opposition. We could not sit and observe collapse of the economy and massive violations of the constitutional rights ofthe citizens. However, we did not add the revolutionary methods of the orange to our arsenal. We used all of our forces to preserve the public peace and accord. This was our goal during signing of the Memorandum on Mutual Understanding between the power and the opposition. Today the representatives of the ?orange" government still can not give a legible answer to the question: ?Why Do They Need Power?, which they have not learned how to use during the year for the bene?t of the people? Sometimes it seems like their only message for the elections is to defeat Yanukovich. They have been falling to agree on other issues so far. The Party of Regions has essentially different approach. We do net want revenge. For us power is just an instrument. With its help we will implement our program and ful?ll our promises to the people. We must unite the country and lead it out of the social, economic and political crisis. We must return Ukraine to the path of the stable economic and social development, which we had one year ago, when we were in power. For this we have all the necessary components: belief in our force. political will and a clear program of action. The key elements of our election program are: Prosperity to the people! Power to the regions! These are the ideas we go to the people with- We are strongly sure that their implementation will lead Ukraine to the path of progress and welfare. ln this we did not invent anything new. The Party of Regions during 8 years has been preaching these principles. which were supported by . millions okarainians. 1BO10-ADVANCE AND TRAINING-000033 case Document le-Z l?lleG U/le/lb Page St) OT 154 Zbl/ We stand for support of national producers. lf. in order to protect our people we need to wait a little with entry to the WTO. we are prepared to wait. . At the same time, if there are new opportunities for the domestic producer in the Common Economic Space, we will do everything for its creation. One of the key elements of the program of the Party is the priority of the family values. would even say that it?s the cult of family values at the state level. in this respect housing issue has particular signi?cance for us. We will make sure that mortgage loans are accessible not only for the selected ones, but for the most broad strata of the population. Our Congress is taking place during the World Day of lnvalids. Our Solemn duty is to create conditions for meaningful life for them, and to surround people ofsenior age with attention. The election program of the party of Regions has provisions on care about veterans of war and labor and lnvalids. Proud people. Distinguished people. who created the wealth of Ukraine. People who are least socially protected now. We consistently stand for decentralization of power and for expansion of the rights of the regions. it is not by accident that we are called ?Party of Regions". It is high time to introduce real accountability from bottom to top - of the government to the people. For this we propose election of the governors and other leaders at the district level. This is a direct way for people to hold whoever they elect accountable. They can even recall their elected of?cial if he, mildly speaking, ?becomes facidous?. Moreover, we have included an important obligation in our election program, that no other party has had the guts to make. If during three years we fail to ful?ll our key program concepts, our deputies and members of the government will voluntarily resign. This means real responsibility of politicians for their promises. Further. Our political opponents, when they came to power, started to accuse us in separatism, substituting our desire to make Ukraine a federalist state by this word. The federal development-can become the factor of unity, and not separation of Ukraine. 1BO10-ADVANCE AND TRAINING-000034 case uocument lb5-Z l?lleG U/le/lb Page 5b OT 154 It should become a well thought, scienti?cally substantiated state policy. Consistent Federalism always contributes to development of democracy and freedom. Ukraine is not an exclusion in this case! . The strength of the regions is that they are very different. We must free and use the energy of the regions. Our slogan is" Regions of Ukraine Unity of the Equal! ilowever, it is important to preserve the originality of the East and West, South and North. Preserve and multiply the historic, cultural, religious values and traditions of the people who live in their regions. It is where the ethnic, family roots are very deep. This is where they take the spirit and the force for life and labor, for bringing up their children. Dear Friends! The basis of democracy of developed European countries is the civilized cooperation between the power and the opposition. The opposition there is a catalyst of positive changes. The opposition is the eyes and ears of the people, preventing the government from stealing and abusing the law. Opposition is the consciousness of democracy. When we come to power. the issue of providing the Opposition with the relevant status will be resolved, no matter who the opposition is. We guarantee that! We will not prosecute the opposition, political opponents, and threaten them with prisons. The opposition, as our election program stipulates, will forever become a mandatory attribute of existence of power. a requisite of healthy, fruitful politics. interaction and mutual in?uence of the power and the opposition will become a guarantee of observing the human rights and freedoms. Finally, our program paid major attention to the foreign policy of the state. We will re-build everything that was destroyed by thoughtless actions of the orange ?chiefs?. We see what has come out of their efforts. Shame and disgrace. We try to get into the European structures in a beggarly way. Europeans like only economically strong and politically independent countries. ls Ukraine like that now? On the contrary, it has been weakened. . First of all, due to the violation of eternail ties with the northern neighbor - Russia. 1BO10-ADVANCE AND TRAINING-000035 case Document le-Z l?lleG U/le/lb Page 5/ OT 154 ZblU The multi-vector approach will be the basis ofour foreign policy activity. By no means we will follow the path of adventures and voluntarism. Let the people through referendum determine, whether Ukraine should join NATO. So far a reliable guarantee ofpeace has been the out-of-loeks status of our state. We strongly believe that Ukraine should preserve this status and not be part of any blocks in the future. We must limit the ambitions of the current government The serious issuesshould be dealt with seriously, in a thoughtful and balanced way. I assure you that we will by all means normalize the relations with Russia - our strategic partner. Both Ukraine and Russia are interested in this. Equal pannership is needed by our both countries, by our people. Party of Regions has such desire. Responsible Russian politicians also share this approach. What else do we need in this case? Act. With no delay till tomorrow. First of all. we will complete formation and creation of the Common Economic Space. On the even of the coming election campaign in Ukraine, the new electoral shake-ups, there is always enough speculatoin about the ethnic issues and national languages. I will say right away - these are dubious and extremely dangerous speculations. it is easy to violate peace. It is easy to start inter-ethnic con?icts and confrontation. It?s very difficult to reconcile them. Painful experience of other countries teaches us about that. You know about this better than I do. We do not need such shake-ups. Enough playing using the ethnic feelings. Party of Regions proposes support and free development of all ethnic groups and nationalities, who live in Ukraine. There is more than 100 of such. We stand for development of all national languages. We stand for ?ourishing of national cultures and traditions, and spiritual values. We stand for providing the status of the second state language to the Russian language. It is absurd, when the language of Pushkin, Gogol, Chekhov, Bulgakov is studied at school as a foreign language. 0 1BO10-ADVANCE AND TRAINING-000036 case uocument lb5-Z l?lleG U/le/lb Page 56 OT 154 7 We are against closing down Russian classes, and removal of Russian books from the nursery schools. All nations big and small - should be equal in their rights and responsibilities. There should be no prosecution, no subjugation. . We are a united friendly family of the peoples of Ukraine! We must orient all members of the party, all participants of our electoral process to the best result. To the victory in the future elections. According to the research of and pollsters, the approval rating of our party is growing. We are the only party in Ukraine whose approval rating is growing. You know very well that in all ratings the Party of Regions takes the top positions. However, by no means it should pacify us. We have serious and difficult work ahead of us. We have 4 months of tiring and tough battle in the election campaign. Our opponents are not sleeping. We simply must become even more united. From the grassroots level up to the central nucleus of the party. From the district headquarters, working in election campaign, up to the Central HQ in Kyiv. The success of the Party of Regions undoubtedly will determine the ef?ciency and vigor of the grassroots party organizations. In this hall we have people who have gone through many electoral battles. Many of you I know personally. I know your business qualities, value year wisdom and your experience. I believe in you and ask please work these four months will full self-sacri?ce. Please work persistently and motivationally. I am talking to the battle nucleus, the intellect ot'the party people?s deputies, members of the ?Regions of Ukraine? faction. The overwhelming majority of you work actively in the parliament. I am intentionally not giving names in order not to miss anyone. I sincerely thank you for the fruitful work. You defend the interests of our party. Your sincere conversations with people will help bring on our side those, who have not made up their minds whom to vote for. . Dear Deputies, I believe in your leadership role in the electoral process. 1801 O-ADVANCE AND TRAINING-000037 case Document le-Z l?lleG U/le/lb Page 59 OT 154 I believe in great signi?cance of each of those present here. Each active party member in the regions of Ukraine. . Each meeting with the people, each individual conversation should be open and sincere. This, not talking and theories, is the key to our success. People should feel it in their hands, in reality. People expect clear answers and real deeds. How to raise pensions and stipends? How to ?x heating, water supply, sewage system in a speci?c house? There are so many such things. Let?s not forget about them. . There are no tri?es in life, especially during the election campaign. All candidates in election lists of various levels are respected and known people, the advance group of the party. Chosing them, we remained true to our key principle to present the interests of all regions. That is why the names of our candidates are known in every comer of our Motherland. Interests of people are close to them. As you know, lately the Party of Regions?s ranks were joined by new members, who were until . recently af?liated with ?Soyuz? and ?New Democracy" parties. These in?uential political forces are close by spirit to us. They are close in terms of views on the ways of political and social-economic development of the Ukrainian society. We arejusti?ably called the centrist opposition. By uniting, we started the process of creation of political center for the sake of uni?cation of the whole Ukrainian nation. Dear Colleagues! Dear Associates! This is the way I see the upcoming elections and participation of our party in these elections. By your speeches, I believe, you will add up to this vision. You will share your ways and methods of conducting election campaign. It will be as intensive and responsible as it has never been. You have noted that not a single time I used the word ?electorate? . I did this intentionally. I ask you to forget this word. 1801 O-ADVANCE AND TRAINING-000038 base Document le-Z l?lleCl U/le/lt?

Page {9 OT 154 PagelL)# bel Suggestion as to the scenario of the Party of the region?s 8th congress . I suggest to make use of the emotional moments which would generally evoke positive feelings and emphasize the inheritance of both our party?s and the leader?s politics. We need to create an emotional ?thread? linking last year?s autumn with this year?s autumn. We need to demonstrate we are keeping to the chosen track consistently, calmly and self- assuredly, ever relying on the support of the people which have always been and will stay with us. The good means to help achieve this goal could be a rally organized on the square in front of Kyiv Central Railway Station. It is upon this very square that 30 thousand coalminers were standing at this time a year ago. They were ready to answer the ?rst. call of the leader and challenge Kyiv. But the leader didn?t appeal to any aggressive moves then, and therefore no . bloodshed occurred. It is this fact that has laid a foundation for the prospects of future peaceful victory at the parliamentary elections this spring. That is why it would be largely opportune to start the crucial congress of the Party with a symbolic rally at the square in front of Kyiv Central Railway Station. There the leader would say that our political force has demonstrated wisdom last year and prevented bloodshed. And today, from this place, we appeal to the people to proceed peacefully t0wards victory. It would be worth to invite several miners-participants of the last year?s rally to address the public, and to have those politicians, which were then with the miners, on the stage. And those singers which sang for the miners then would sing now. This event could be prepared in a very moving fashion. This . would stir up the emotions. The rally needs to be'broadcast the same way it was?broadcast then live on TRC ?Ukraine? 1BO10-ADVANCE AND TRAINING-000078 base Document lbb-Z l?lleCl U/le/lt? Page 6U OT 154 beZ (if possible on other channels as well). The culmination of the event would have to be the appeal to walk the streets of Kyiv peacefully, heading to the Cabinet of Ministers? building, to the place where last year the miners? blue-and? white tents stood. There the people would lay down the ?owers, sing and peacefully disperse. The songs and slogans need to be peaceful. Right after this the show may continue in the Sports Palace. 1BO10-ADVANCE AND base uocument 1'05-2 l?lleCl U/le/lt?

The Ukraine January 7"1 - March 31?, 2005 The Company handling Advance and Scheduling for the campaign will dedicate a four person team to Kiev in the beginning of January to plan and conduct all Shareholder ?advance? operations. The team will consist of a Scheduler. a ?Tour Director" who will travel with the Shareholder and two ?site" advancemen. Our Scheduler will be stationed at the Davis Manafort Headquarters in Kiev. This person?s job will be to conduct the day to day scheduling operation for the Shareholder. This person will meet with Paul Manafort on a daily basis and act as the main contact for the Shareholders scheduling operation. This person will be responsible for production of all schedules and event treatments for the Shareholder. The Tour Director will travel with the Shareholder and manage the day to day operations of the tour. The Tour Director will check in with Paul Manafort daily from the road and conduct countdown meetings when he is in Kiev. The Tour Director will manage the two in the ?eld. The advancemen will conduct all site surveys for the Shareholder?s schedule and execute all advance operations. Since the teams are not traveling with a truck, the advancemen will be . responsible for identifying and securing all production equipment locally. They will meet once a week in Kiev (possibly Friday) to review the upcoming week?s schedule and evaluate the past weeks performance with the Tour Director and Scheduler.

The ESI personnel will be split up into three teams. Each team will have one truck, an SUV and two interpreters. Each team will be self sufficient in terms of production abilities staging, audio, lighting, banners and collateral materials). One ESI representative (Bobby Peede) will be stationed full time on the bus operating as Tour Director. Every Friday ESI team Leads will meet in Kiev to discuss the upcoming week?s events. Site Surveys and updated schedules will have been conducted and distributed to the teams. New message banners for the upcoming week will be distributed. Additions, foreseeable problems, changes and improvements will be discussed. From there the three teams will move into position for the upcoming week?s events. On Monday morning, Bobby will board the bus and begin that week's tour. Upon arrival at each site the bus should be able to pull up directly to the back of the stage (acting as a backdrop) for outdoor events. For indoor events we should look for a way to pull the bus into the venue if at all possible. If not, the bus will pull up to a secondary entrance. selected by the E81 advance staff. Every aspect of the program and production should be ready upon the Leader?s arri val. The candidate will be escorted to the Holding room and then directly to the stage for the off- stage announcement. Following each program the candidate will work the rope line and depart en route for the next event, where an team will be waiting. Each day one OTR (off the record) event should be held.

Director Stanislav V. Skubashevsky Deputy Director - Alexander N. Orda The advance process works in the following way: 1. 9. Analysis/Research/Strategic Department sends a recommendation to the Advance Group on the region/city to be visited (however, according to the head of the department, Vitaly Zablotskiy. that is not the case. According to him, a regional HQ sends the invitation to the Leader and to the Director of Advance.) The invitation is then analyzed by Alexander Orda, who calls the regional HQ and starts preparing the advance trip. Meanwhile, the regional HQ develops a proposal. When Mr. Orda travels to the region to prepare the trip, he analyzes whether the event, to which the leader been invited, fits within goals. The proposal by the regional HQ includes such aspects as which stops are going to be made and where are they going to be made, what people will be in the crowd and which will be allowed to meet with the leader, meetings with the Party activists. explanation of the party goals, etc. Next, Mr. Orda goes to and examines the proposed venues. Once the advance report is complete. it goes to the Advance Director. Mr. Skubashevsky. Mr. Skubashevsky ?nalizes the advance report and forwards it to the Leader. If the Leader decides not to go to the region, it is back to square one. If he does, then the trip is set for the speci?c dates. determined by his schedule (sometimes controlled by his personal assistant/scheduler Dimitry Karakai), At this point, the Advance Group starts coordinating with the Leader?s Press Service (Anna German and Darina Kosolapova), the security department and with Mr. Demianko?s Logistics Department. The Logistics Department is located at the Leader HQ and is the one responsible for the transportation. hotels, communications and the security arrangements. The Logistics Department assures that the vehicles for the leader (they are usually driven to the region the night before) are deployed at the proper place at the proper time, the hotels are appropriate, etc. Upon arrival of the leader at the designed point (airport. border of the region, etc.) he is met by the representatives of the regional HQ. My understanding is that by then the advance representatives are gone. This is the present state of the advance organization. It appears. that the majority of the advance support personnel are actually part of the Logistics Depamnent. The actual Advance Team consists of only two pe0ple. 1BO10-ADVANCE AND TRAINING-000087
