“The economic disaster and time drew attention away from the murder.
The investigation is in a dead end. Most Ukrainians seem not to care much. For politicians it remains a simple game. For Gongadze’s family – a tragedy. We forgot one detail, however. Anyone can end up in his shoes.”

“Ukraine will never hear the real names of those who ordered the murder. Even if we did, the truth would not change a thing. True freedom of speech is not possible in this country.”

“Neither our generation, nor the next one will find out the truth. It will die with those who committed the murder. However, the issue should not be forgotten. Exposure and punishment for those who are guilty is essential for Ukraine’s future.”
Olena Cherednyk
Interpreter
“Gongadze’s murder is one of those numerous crimes that were committed, unsolved and forgotten. It shouldn’t be this way. Step-by-step, little-by-little we need to change the consciousness of our nation. The truth about Gongadze’s murder could be a great achievement. I doubt we’ll find it out, though.”
Roman Ryaboy
Economist
“It’s essential for Ukraine, particularly for our younger generations, that the crime is solved and criminals are punished. However, there is no possible way it can happen, as too much politics stands behind it.”
