The All-Ukrainian Union "Fatherland" (Ukrainian: Всеукраїнське об'єднання "Батьківщина", romanized: Vseukrayins'ke obyednannia "Bat'kivshchyna"), often referred to as Batkivshchyna (Ukrainian: [ˌbɑtʲkʲiu̯ˈʃtʃɪnɐ] (About this soundlisten)), is a political party in Ukraine led by People's Deputy of Ukraine, Former Ukrainian Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko.[1] As the core party of the former Yulia Tymoshenko Bloc, Batkivshchyna has been represented in the Verkhovna Rada (Ukraine's parliament) since Yulia Tymoshenko set up the parliamentary faction of the same name in March 1999.[18][19][20] After the November 2011 banning of the participation of blocs of political parties in parliamentary elections,[21] Batkivshchyna became a major force in Ukrainian politics independently.[22]

In the 2012 Ukrainian parliamentary election, Batkivshchyna took part under the banner "United opposition Batkivshchyna" and other parties allied with Batkivshchyna. The party list was headed by the leader of the "Front of Changes" Arseniy Yatsenyuk. The list won 62 seats and 25.55 percent of the vote under the (nationwide) proportional party-list system (down from 30.71 percent in 2007 for the Yulia Tymoshenko Bloc),[23] and another 39 in constituencies, thus a total of 101 seats.[24] On 15 June 2013 the parties "Front of Changes" and "Reforms and Order" finally merged with the All-Ukrainian Union Batkivshchyna by self-liquidation. By 31 December 2013 the parliamentary faction Batkivshchyna had 90 deputies.[25][22][26][27][28]

From August 5, 2011, to February 22, 2014, she was a political prisoner of the Yanukovych regime and has been rehabilitated by the Supreme Court of Ukraine and the European Court of Human Rights. In the concluding days of the 2014 Ukrainian revolution, she was released after three years in jail.[29][30][31][32] Tymoshenko started reforming the party and Batkivshchyna went into the parliamentary elections of 2014 with new members, the top five of the list included: Nadiya Savchenko, Yulia Tymoshenko, Ihor Lutsenko, Serhiy Sobolev, and Alyona Shkrum. Based on the election results, the party received 19 seats in the Ukrainian parliament: 17 according to party lists and two through the majority system.[33] Until 17 February 2016, the party was a member of the Second Yatsenyuk Government, but it later moved into opposition.[34]

In the snap parliamentary election of 2019 Batkivschyna received 8.18% of the votes and 26 MPs (two elected in constituencies).[35] After a brief support of the Honcharuk Government, the party went into opposition.[36][37] According to the results of the local elections in 2020, the "Fatherland" party received 12.39 % votes of voters, and became one of the leading parties in the local elections in Ukraine.[38] The "Fatherland" party is in favor of Ukraine's integration into the EU and joining NATO.[39]

History[]

Early history[]

The predecessor of today's party is the Association of Peace-loving Forces "Batkivshchyna" that was founded in 1995 by Volodymyr Prisnyakov, a rector at Dnipropetrovsk National University.[20] In 1998, Tymoshenko was elected a people's deputy of the Verkhovna Rada from the Bobrynets constituency (number 99) in Kirovohrad Oblast. In spring 1999, Tymoshenko created a parliamentary group called "Fatherland" as a breakaway group of Hromada.[40] On 14 September 1998 the General Prosecutor of Ukraine accused Hromada leader Pavlo Lazarenko of embezzlement, and the following March Tymoshenko established the "Fatherland" parliamentary group.[41][19] On 9 July 1999, based on the parliamentary group and smaller party, a new political party – All-Ukrainian Union "Fatherland" – was founded its constituent congress.[20] The first party chairman was elected Viktor Drachenko, a former Communist Party secretary from Dnipropetrovsk Oblast.[20] The party was registered by the Ministry of Justice of Ukraine on 16 September 1999 under certificate no. 122.[23] At the second congress, held on 18 December of the same year, Yulia Tymoshenko was elected chairman of the party, replacing Drachenko.[20]

Yulia Tymoshenko Bloc[]

In the 2002 parliamentary elections, the party was the main constituent of the Yulia Tymoshenko Bloc.[23] The bloc obtained 22 seats in the parliament, all on the party list. Thirteen of them were allocated to "Fatherland".

In January 2005, Tymoshenko became Prime Minister of Ukraine under Viktor Yushchenko's presidency.[42][43] Several months earlier, she was a leader in the Orange Revolution which enabled Yushchenko's election.[42][44]

After losing several seats in 2002 and 2003, by September 2005 the bloc had grown to 40 members.[45] In March 2005, the Yabluko party merged with Batkivshchyna.[20] However, in March 2007 Yabluko became the Party of Free Democrats and withdrew from Batkivshchyna.[20] In late 2005, the United Ukraine party also merged with Batkivshchyna.[20] In the 2006 and 2007 parliamentary elections the party was part of the Tymoshenko Bloc,[23] which won 129 of 450 seats in 2006 (22.29 percent of the total vote) and 156 of 450 seats (30.71 percent of the total vote) in 2007.[23]

On 18 December 2007 Yulia Tymoshenko was reelected prime minister by a two-vote margin, making Our Ukraine–People's Self-Defense Bloc and the Yulia Tymoshenko Bloc a majority coalition.[46][47] Since 2008, the party has been an observer member of the European People's Party.[14]

In 2009, "Fatherland" put Tymoshenko forward as a candidate for the presidency of Ukraine. After its defeat in the elections, the parliamentary coalition ceased to exist, and Tymoshenko's cabinet was dismissed. Tymoshenko stated on 22 February 2010 that she would go into opposition.[48][49] During the 2010 Ukrainian local elections party (political blocs were not permitted to compete in the election)[50][51] was defeated by the rival Party of Regions in nearly all regions of Ukraine, although it remained the main opposition party.[52] Although Batkivshchyna won seats in 19 of 24 regional parliaments, it did not win a seat in the Supreme Council of Crimea.[53] In Lviv Oblast and Kyiv Oblast as well as in Ternopil the party did not participate in the elections cause it was unable to register its candidates. Yulia Tymoshenko claimed that "fraudulent Batkivshchyna party organisations were registered on orders from Viktor Yanukovych".[54][55][56]

Batkivshchyna – United Opposition[]

On 16 November 2010, the Yulia Tymoshenko Bloc in the Verkhovna Rada was renamed the Bloc Yulia Tymoshenko-Batkivshchyna.[57] During the presidency of Viktor Yanukovych several criminal cases were opened against Tymoshenko. On 5 August 2011 Tymoshenko was arrested. On 11 October she was sentenced to seven years in prison on charges of abuse of power and official authority when entering into gas contracts with Russia in January 2009. The Danish Helsinki Committee, observing the trial, came to the conclusion that it was politically motivated and included gross violations of the European Convention on Human Rights. In 2010–2013, the European Parliament adopted six resolutions in which the persecution of Tymoshenko was named "politically motivated selective justice".[1][58]

On 17 November 2011, party blocs were again banned in parliamentary elections.[21] The following month, Batkivshchyna and the People's Self-Defense party announced that the latter would merge with the former,[59][60] and on 28 December first deputy head of the party Oleksandr Turchynov said, "I believe that other political forces will join us".[61]

Batkivshchyna, the former Yulia Tymoshenko Bloc member Reforms and Order Party and the People's Movement of Ukraine announced their intention to submit a single party list in the March 2012 parliamentary elections.[62] On 7 April, Arseniy Yatsenyuk announced that the Front for Change party would join them on the single-party list.[63]

On 6 June 2012, and Volodymyr Kupchak left the party;[65] Kupchak he had been threatened by party leader Yatsenyuk and the party had "betrayed Yulia Tymoshenko, who had sparked the protest movement Rise up, Ukraine!".[66] In July 2012, Batkivshchyna agreed with the Svoboda party on the distribution of single-member district candidates in the 2012 parliamentary elections.[67] Two weeks before 28 October election, Batkivshchyna withdrew 26 parliamentary candidates in favour of the Ukrainian Democratic Alliance for Reform (UDAR); UDAR withdrew 26 of its single-seat candidates in favour of Batkivshchyna candidates, attempting to maximise the opposition vote.[68]

Batkivshchyna was a de facto umbrella party in the election, whose election list included members of the Reforms and Order, People's Movement of Ukraine, Front for Change, For Ukraine!, People's Self-Defense, Civil Position and Social Christian parties.[69][70][71][72] In July 2012, members of the Mejlis of the Crimean Tatar People joined the list, known as the Fatherland United Opposition.[73] Front for Change leader Arseniy Yatsenyuk headed the list, because Tymoshenko was imprisoned.[27][64] The list won 62 seats and 25.55 percent of the vote under the proportional party-list system (down from 30.71 percent in 2007 for the Yulia Tymoshenko Bloc[23]), and another 39 in simple-majority constituencies.[24] Competing in 152 of 225 constituencies,[74] they won a total of 101 seats, 22.67 percent of the 450 seats in the Verkhovna Rada.[24][75] The party lost about two million votes, compared with the results of the Yulia Tymoshenko Bloc in the previous election.[22] Yatsenyuk was temporarily elected leader of this parliamentary faction on 12 December 2012.[76] On 19 October 2012, Batkivshchyna and Svoboda signed an agreement for "the creation of a coalition of democratic forces in the new parliament".[77] The party also coordinated its parliamentary activities with UDAR.[78]

In early April 2013 four lawmakers left the party in protest of Yatsenyuk's leadership style, and was forced to replace Serhiy Vlasenko's parliamentary mandate.[79][80] The following month, Batkivshchyna, UDAR and Svoboda pledged to coordinate for the 2015 Ukrainian presidential election.[81]

2013 unification[]

In December 2012, the parties which aligned with Batkivshchyna in the 2012 parliamentary elections considered forming a single party.[82] On 15 June 2013, the Reforms and Order Party and the Front for Change merged with Batkivshchyna.[83] A portion of the People's Movement of Ukraine (including former chairman Borys Tarasyuk)[84] also merged. The remainder of the party had merged with the Ukrainian People's Party the previous month.[85][86] During the same congress, the party also approved Tymoshenko's nomination as its candidate for the 2015 Ukrainian presidential election,[2] with all 482 delegates supporting the candidature of Tymoshenko.[87]

Euromaidan and return to government[]

The party played a substantial role in the anti-government Euromaidan protests, which began in late November 2013 and culminated on 21 February 2014 impeachment of President Viktor Yanukovych after the February 2014 Ukrainian revolution, during which Tymoshenko was released from jail and officially rehabilitated.[88][89][90] Immediately after the revolution, the Ukrainian Supreme Court closed the case and found that "no crime was committed".[29] The European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg acknowledged political persecution and torture and stopped studying the criminal cases against Yulia Tymoshenko dated 2011–2014.[91] After Yanukovych's ouster, and return of the 2004 Constitution, a ruling coalition was formed, which included Batkivshchyna, UDAR and Svoboda. This coalition put together a coalition government headed by Arseniy Yatsenyuk.

Yulia Tymoshenko began to reform the party following the revolution. In early August 2014 Batkivshchyna expelled more than 1,500 members, including more than 700 deputies, in a lustration campaign.[92]

The party has its own Batkivshchyna Battalion that has fought in the War in Donbass since May 2014.[93][94]
