Oleg Riabokon

[3] The firm is recognized by The International Who's Who of Trade and Customs Lawyers (1998–2006) as one of the world's leading lawyers in international trade and customs and recommended by the IFLR 1000 2008, Chambers Global 2008, Chambers Europe 2007, and other legal guides.

Their successful razzle-dazzle techniques set the stage for the cancellation of the fraudulent 2004 election and a repeat, won by Yushchenko.

[6][7] During the campaign Riabokon said many of his rival candidates have either worked for or are currently part of the corrupt and impotent political establishment, which he likens to an "evil" swamp.

Riabokon referred to himself as the "technical candidate of civil society," and claimed that while he was a newcomer to politics, he had the necessary experience to change Ukraine.

His election program espoused the universally-accepted cornerstones of democracy: ensuring a vibrant civil society, an accountable and transparent government and the rule of law.
