See reports of the first strategic enterprises going to Russian investment capital in 2000 and 2001 in Moscow Interfax 12 February 2001; Ukrayina moloda 21 February 2001; Zerkalo nedeli 14 April 2001.
For a comparison of the economic and social disparities between Eastern and Western Ukraine see Romaniuk et al. (Citation2004a), a portrait of Lviv on the eve of the 2004 elections and (2004b), a parallel study of Donetsk oblast on the eve of the elections. These studies were commissioned by the Razumkov Centre for Economic and Political Studies in Kyiv and financially supported by the Charles Stuart Mott Foundation.
Ukrayinska Pravda noted on 16 December 2004 that the Yanukovich camp brought 18 trainloads of his supporters into Kyiv during the mass mobilisations, and fed them on army rations. At one stage 89 buses from Donetsk were parked on one of the bridges over the Dnieper River, having discharged their passengers to walk on to the city centre. As well, aeroplanes flew students into the capital.
