“I think some hope still remains. Personally, I believe in (Odesa Oblast Governor Mikheil) Saakashvili. If we take into account the whole country, everyone knows how (President Petro) Poroshenko and (Prime Minister Arseniy) Yatsenyuk came to power. In 2014 we simply chose the lesser of two evils. If (President Viktor) Yanukovych continued staying our president, we would have had no future.”
Irina Vasylyuk,

“There are still people in parliament who continue to have those values for which people were fighting for in the winter of 2014. I believe in (member of parliament Yegor) Sobolev, Samopomich. In general, they move the process. That is their great contribution. Some people clearly act against the values of Maidan. I believe that now the system is the same as it was under Yanukovych. Things are changing, but very slowly. Until the judicial system is changed, nothing will help us.”
Oleg Kalensky,

“Of course, the revolution was betrayed by the people who are in power now and those who formally are not in power, but in fact, who have the power. I mean the oligarchs.”
Yana Rudenko,

“It is not normal that the events of the revolution are forgotten now. I believe that society is guilty of this.”
Oksana Borovskaya,

“Oligarchs took advantage of the achievements of the revolution. Society simply could not stop them..”
Sergey Koshevoi,

“Unfortunately, there are some people who are trying to push us from the path of European development.”
