Fun with Campaign Signs
The Parliamentary election in Ukraine is the 26th and you can't swing a dead cat without hitting a kid standing on a street corner waving a flag in the snow or a middle-aged lady sitting in a tent lazily handing out campaign lit.
These sort of stunts are a heck of a lot easier than actually going out to talk to voters.
Anyway, there is some interesting stuff out there and I've documented it below
My favorite signs (certainly not my preferred bloc...) are from the Lytvyn crowd. Some of it is a big arcane and clever by half, but in these, their message is clear: Restore Stability
Shevchenko (not Lenin, as I originally thought!)
Ukrainian Parliament
My favorite campaign techniques are 1). draw a clear contrast with your opponents and 2). take advantage of voters' ignorance. The "Ne Tak" block ("Not Yes") hits both targets straight on.
"Ne Tak" says: No to NATO. Yes to Economic Integration with Belarus, Russia and Kazakhstan (heck, I would have thrown Azerbaijan in there for good measure, but then again, it might be too European). And wraps it all up with Yes to Russian Language. No mistaking where those guys stand. Some clever monkey has taken issue with these positions and posted responses in Ukrainian. Will have to find out what the graffiti says.

Thanks for the pictures!
However, it's not Lenin but Taras Shevchenko on Lytvyn's poster! :)
The hand-written message on the Ne Tak! poster is far from being nice, the other extreme: "Death to Zionism! The circumcised ones won't get through."
