The parliamentary and mayoral elections are coming up soon in Kiev and all the parties are out in force. I’ve talked to several Ukrainians about the billboards, fliers, posters, flags, booths etc. that cover the entire city and all of them said “It’s never been this crazy before.” And it is indeed crazy. Although there are countless parties and politicians there are only two basic groups… those who are pro-Russia and those who are pro-West. Please pray with us for fair, free elections and that good, God-fearing, pro-West men and women will be elected.

Here are a few pictures of the political ads covering Kiev these days:

Here is a small poster for the “Our Ukraine” party (aka the orange party)


I think this man is running for mayor.


“39” Is the number on the ballot for this party.


Yulia, the former Prime Minister, was a huge force behind the Orange Revolution …and doesn’t really look as good as the picture on the billboard.


This party has few billboards but a billion guys like these waving flags all over the place. Okay, maybe there are just a couple hundred but they’re distracting and rather annoying.


I love this picture. On the right you have a tent promoting the “Tak!” party and 4 feet to the left there’s an advertisement for the “No Tak” party.


Last of my pictures today is of what we’ve come to call the “Natural Women” party. Loosely translated the sign says: “Vote for us and/or we’ll drop the flowers!” Just kidding, it doesn’t really say that.
