This weekend, anti-campaigners have become more active in Kyiv Oblast. In particular, Liubov Onyshchuk and Mykhailo Poplavskyi, Kyrylo Polishchuk, Liudmyla Dryhalo, and the UDAR Party got in their cross hairs.
Indeed, for example, smear leaflets encouraging not to vote for the UDAR on one page contain information as well as the imprint that was published on the official materials of the party. However, on the back, against the backdrop of a beer ad, the material on “5 broken promises of Klychko” is published.
Liudmyla Dryhalo (candidate of the People's Party in the electoral district 90), on 20 October, fought against slanderous billboards which stated she was the only agreed candidate of the authorities by herself. Having taken a brush and paint, the candidate for Deputy wrote „Lies!“ on them.
