is located in Hyoko-dong, Jongno District, South Korea. It has a history of nearly 600 years. It was originally the palace of the Goryeo Dynasty and is now the office of the previous presidents of South Korea (now converted into a tourist destination). The reason why
is famous all over the world is mainly because the South Korean president who lives in the Blue House has no good ending, either being forced to commit suicide or being sent to jail.
Therefore, the Blue House is also called a "political forbidden area".
0 million miles apart Ukraine also has a similar fate. The presidential residence "Maria Palace" is also an unknown place, and the outcome of successive presidents of the Ukrainian Republic is not satisfactory.
Ukraine
August 24, 1991 is a day worth remembering. On this day, Ukraine declared independence and broke away from the jurisdiction of the Soviet Union.
Five years later, the Ukrainian parliament passed a new constitution, determining Ukraine as a republican country.
From 1991 to 2022, Ukraine has 6 presidents, namely Krafchuk , Kuchima , Yushenko, Yanukovych , Poroshenko , and Zelensky .
Turchinov was acting president for only four months in 2014 and will not be included in the discussion.
Ukrainian
buried the Soviet Union, and abandoned martial arts
Kravchuk's full name is Leonid Makarovich Kravchuk , born in 1934 in Rovno Oblast, Ukraine.
This old man is a politician who can take it but cannot bear it; he put it down and smashed his feet but blamed others.
Although his thinking is clear, he has a long-term vision and has unique insights into the current situation, he is a president who is incompetent and unable to integrate forces from all parties.
Krafchuk suffered a lot since childhood because of World War II , so he studied very hard and was admitted to the Department of Economics, Kiev State University, Ukraine with his unremitting efforts.
After Khrushchev came to power, he took good care of Krafchuk because he was a Ukrainian . In the 1980s, Krafchuk became the deputy secretary of the Central Committee of the Republican Party of Ukraine, specializing in the ideological field.
Leonid Makarovich Krafchuk
However, Krafchuk lived in Western Ukraine since he was a child and was deeply influenced by Western culture. He was very dissatisfied with the rigid Soviet system of obeying everything Moscow.
itself is also a nationalist. He is unwilling to rely on Ukraine's industry to feed back the backward areas. The idea of pulling Ukraine out and working alone came to his mind.
According to the description in Yeltsin's memoir, on the evening of winter in December 1991, the cold air was blowing, and the snow was shattering.
The Belarusian Soviet President's residence brought together three senior officials, Yeltsin, Krafchuk and Shushkevich, signed the Belove Treaty, established the CIS country, and since then Ukraine left the Soviet family.
Ukraine
In fact, Ukraine independence is a matter of time sooner or later, the key is that the subsequent operations are really disappointing. Krafchuk did two stupid things, namely, abandoning nuclear energy completely and adopting shock therapy.
Under the deception of Russia and the United States, Krafchuk signed the "Budapest Memorandum" to completely destroy the nuclear weapon , greatly hurting Ukraine's national defense power.
shock therapy has completely marketized and liberalized Ukraine's economy, resulting in the Ukrainian economy being monopolized by the oligarch , the people's living standards continue to decline, domestic contradictions are sharp and problems occur frequently.
It is precisely these tricks that Krafchuk was sadly dismayed in the 1994 presidential election battle and lost to Kuchima.
Krafchuk
Balance Master
Kuchima is an industrial background and served as a senior engineer of in the former Soviet Union's missile factory.After
came to power, Kuchima proposed that Ukraine's future and reforms could not be implemented by relying on closed bureaucracies, nor could it be completed quickly by destroying the remnants of the Soviet Union. In his opinion, we must maintain relative stability in diplomacy with the Slavic countries, and also learn from advanced experiences of Western countries.
In short, Ukraine is located in the center of Europe and neither side wants to offend it.
Kuqima is a practitioner of the unity of knowledge and action. In terms of economy, it has strengthened its ties with the West, formulated many policies to stimulate exports, and increased foreign exchange investment in Ukraine.
has hit the domestic financial group forces and imposed strict restrictions on the use of foreign exchange. Settlement between enterprises is only carried out in Ukrainian rubles, and foreign currencies can only be circulated if converted into rubles . Agreed to soon come Ukraine and IMF to formulate economic reform plans.
Kuchima
diplomatically signed some friendly treaties with Russia, agreeing to resolve disputes under the framework of the CIS.
Among the six Ukrainian presidents, from the perspective of a latecomer, Kuchima is probably the best one. During his term, Ukrainian economy has improved to a certain extent and the external environment is relatively safe.
But even so, Kuchima's presidential throne is still coming to an end.
In September 2000, Gonggaze, editor-in-chief of "H Pravda " against Kuchima, was assassinated. Moroz's tape then confirmed that the culprit was Kuchima, and Ukraine launched a Kuchima movement.
The fatal blow to Kuchima was the death of Energy Minister Razarenko, who fled to the United States, prompted the loss of trust in Kuchima by the Ukrainian people and stepped down in the 2004 election.
Kuchima
Look westward
December 26, 2004, it was Christmas, and Yushenko was elected president with a vote of 51.99%.
Yushenko's presidential journey was not smooth. First, the poisoning incident made Yushenko win the favor of voters in disguise and defeat Yanukovych in the first round of elections.
In the second round of elections, it was originally a pity to lose to Yanukovych, but Yushenko was dissatisfied with the election results and asked for a new vote.
After voting, Yushenko turned defeat into victory and was successfully elected, which also reflects his very resolute and stubborn personality.
After becoming president, Yushenko changed Kuchima's political trend and began to have a comprehensive Westernization path.
Yushanke
On January 25, 2005,Yushanke openly said on European Council : My heart belongs to Europe...Our strategic goal is to become a member of European .
Yushenko has actively promoted democratic and free economic reforms to legalize shadow capital.
In order to gain the support of voters, Yushenko followed the West and took the initiative to pay the Ukrainian people, resulting in domestic economic chaos. The problem of inflation in began to appear.
cannot handle its relations with Russia well. The most disgusting thing is that Yushenko actually awarded Nazi German collaborator Sjerpan Benjara the title of "Holy Ukrainian", which caused the domestic people to be very dissatisfied and was driven out of the throne of president in 2010.
Yushenko
reverse extreme
Due to the people's boredom of the endless political internal friction in the country and the decline in living standards, Yanukovych, who failed to run for president in 2004, made a comeback and became the winner of the 2010 Ukrainian election. This guy is a staunch pro-Russian faction, and the most famous one in his office is the "Color Revolution".
fuse was in November 2013, when the government announced the cessation of signing contact countries agreements with the EU. The deep reason was the long-term economic recession brought about by the political struggle.
From 1993 to 2013, Ukraine's GDP had zero growth, while other Eastern European countries increased by 1.4 times during the same period.
Ukraine's unemployment rate remained high, at 7.5% in 2012, and increased to 8% in 2013, with per capita income of only US$3,200.
yanukovych
When everyone is rich, they can still live together. Once they fall into poverty, the conflicts covered up in the past will break out.
In addition to economic issues, the people in the western and eastern Ukraine are also different in their beliefs. The general belief in Catholicism in the west is greatly influenced by Orthodox religion in the east.
In 2011, Orthodox believers in the east and south once protested against the visit of the Pope in public demonstrations. Under the influence of various factors, large-scale protests broke out in Ukraine, and Yanukovych could not come up with any way to prevent the situation from deteriorating further.
When the Crimea region saw that the opportunity came, it held a referendum and rushed to Russia's arms. This ignited the anger of the people of western Ukraine, and directly furiously forced Yanukovych to step down, and was wanted by the whole country. Of course, the charge was of collusion with Russia to rebel the country.
Yanukovych
Chocolate King
After Yanukovych disappeared, Ukraine held another presidential election, changing coaches like a revolving lantern. This time, Poroshenko, who runs the chocolate company, stood out from 21 candidates and was elected as the fifth president with a vote of 54.7%.
This guy is taking a moderate route, has a keen political sense, and his political stance changes with the changes in interests. In terms of political reform, it advocates reducing the president's power and expanding the functions of parliament.
Poroshenko saw the lessons of his predecessor and advocated a peaceful negotiation to resolve the Crimean issue. In terms of energy, we strive to diversify the import of natural gas and reduce our dependence on Russia.
However, in the military, he actively seeks NATO 's umbrella and strives to join NATO.
Poroshenko
Poroshenko wants to find a balance between the West and Russia, but from the results, things are contrary to their expectations. Although various economic indicators have been improved to a certain extent, they have failed to fundamentally solve the problem of corruption. He himself is an oligarch who occupies the position of the president and seeks personal gain for himself.
soon revealed that Poroshenko was engaged in armed transactions with local armed forces in the eastern region, so the election failed. In 2022, the Ukrainian National Investigation Bureau released a message saying that Poroshenko was charged with treason and confiscated all his property.
From 1991 to 2021, in thirty years, Ukraine changed six presidents, which deeply reflects the complexity of the Ukrainian issue.
The short term made the leadership group's policies not sustainable, and domestic reforms naturally could not be implemented.
Poroshenko
Economic downturn is inevitable, which in turn will lead to the president's continuous re-election, forming a vicious cycle of evil deeds.
What's more, Ukraine's geographical location is extremely unfavorable to it, and it is at a crossroads.
Neither Russian nor American forces from abroad will give Ukraine to the death, which will also destiny in Ukraine.
As for the newly-employed Zelensky's situation, it was even more sad. Because of his excessive joining NATO, Russia directly used force, and the prospects were unclear, so he could only ask for more blessings.
