He turned out to be one of the most unpleasant officials I have met over my odd 15 years in East European affairs. Had I but known what ugly fish I were to deal with, I would never have taken the job, but back in those days one did not realise what would come. Meeting Kivalov was however somewhat of an eye-opener for me in realising that all was not what it seemed in Ukrainian politics. To have a thug like Kivalov as chairman of the CEC was simply too much for most people to swallow.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13441809988487585009noreply@blogger.com
