What do you think of prosecutors’ declaration on March 22 that ex-President Leonid Kuchma is a suspect in the Sept. 16, 2000, murder of journalist Georgiy Gongadze?
Oleh Trepovsky,
theatre actor
“After all these years, I lost track of this case and am convinced that there will always be a lack of evidence. It may be a hot topic for youngsters, but for older people, it becomes more obvious that politicians and common people share different worlds.”
Volodymyr-Bogdan Kostvo,
student
“I consider it a glimpse into the distant past. It’s like taking a look back at The Nuremberg Trials, digging out and trying to find new evidence against Nazi Germany. If Kuchma would have been accused when it all started, then it could have led to effective legal action.”
Oleh Shefrovsky,
educationalist
“I think that renewal of the investigation is generally a positive sign. From the beginning, I considered Kuchma to be involved in this case and think that there is enough evidence against him.”
Serhiy Vorny,
military man
“I think it will come to nothing. Since it is such a big case, it should have been solved years ago. A man’s tragedy was turned into a long-lasting political show with change of actors.”
Valeriya Shevchenko,
student
“I am not sure that there is really enough evidence to charge Kuchma with murder or to prove that he is involved. I think that this is some sort of political technology to distract the public eye from more important issues and hot topics.”
