A Report on KIIS Polling Data From April 8-16, 2014

An opinion poll by the Kyiv International Institute of Sociology (KIIS) was recently conducted on the views and opinions of residents of South-Eastern Ukraine. The poll was conducted April 8-16 through 3232 respondents in eight regions of Ukraine (Odessa, Mykolaiv, Kherson, Kharkiv, Luhansk, Dnipropetrovsk, Zaporizhia, and Donetsk).

The Donbas Conflict

18.1% of Donetsk and 24.2% of Luhansk support the recent armed seizures of administrative buildings in the Donbas region, while surrounding provinces overwhelmingly disapprove of the current situation. 72% of Donetsk and 58.3% of Luhansk residents disapprove of the current actions. Roughly 25% in the Donbas region said they would attend secessionist rallies in favor of joining Russia.

Supporters in Donetsk were mostly split in their justification of the armed occupations, but Luhansk leaned towards seeing the militant actions as no different from what occurred in Kyiv and the west. Donetsk and Luhansk also held the lowest belief that Russia has organized the separatist occupations, and were the only two regions where the majority did not believe Russia was illegally interfering in the internal affairs of Ukraine.

Crisis Solutions

Most in the Southeast believe that the disarmament and disbanding of illegal radical groups is crucial to preserving national unity. Secondary solutions are economic, both internal (including supporting local business) and with regard to Russia (and establishing dialogue). Luhansk is the only region which favors local economy over the disbanding of radicals.

Independence & Secessionism

89.1% of the Southeast believes Ukraine should be an independent state, but with most feeling Russia and Ukraine should share open borders without visa restrictions. In contrast, 8.4% are in favor of Ukraine and Russia uniting into a single state; this sentiment is strongest in Donetsk (12.4%) and Luhansk (15.9%). Kherson showed the least support for joining Russia, with less than one percent favoring such an arrangement.

These figures are considerably lower than those conducted by KIIS in February, where 33% of Donetsk and 24% of Luhansk favored a Russo-Ukrainian state union.

However, when asked if one would favor their local region seceding from Ukraine and joining Russia, unification sentiment nearly doubles to 15.4%. No single region supported secessionism by a majority, but the Donbas again led the pack with 27.5% (of Donetsk) and 30.3% (of Luhansk) favoring a Crimean scenario.

Federalization

Only 11.8% of the Southeast supports federalization as a solution to preserving national cohesion. In Donetsk, 19.1% and Luhansk, 21.6% support the devolutionary solution. Other regions show considerably lower, mostly single-digit support.

When asked what system they prefer without qualification, on the whole, 64.3% of the Southeast believes Ukraine should remain a unitary state, while 24.8% favor federalization. Donetsk and Luhansk specifically favor a unitary structure (51.7% and 55.6%, respectively) over federalization (38.4% and 41.9%). Federalization was least supported in Kherson (6.9%), Mykolaiv (10.7%), and Dnipropetrovsk (11.4%); unitarianism was also most strongly desired in the southern provinces of Mykolaiv (81%) and Kherson (87.4%). All provinces overwhelmingly support the devolutionary measure to allow governors to be locally elected, as opposed to appointed by the central government.

Russian Language

11% of the Russian-speaking portion of the country view introducing Russian as the second official language will help the current situation. Donetsk and Luhansk led support with a mere 17.1% each. Only 23.1% feel that the rights of Russian speakers are violated (versus 71.5%), most sentiment of which is concentrated in Donetsk (39.9%). When asked what they found attractive about Russia, while most of the Southeast said nothing does, notably the least compelling reason was the cultural connection. Altogether, alleged cultural-linguistic motivating factors in the region by media sources appear to be overblown.

Civil War?

46% feel that a civil war is possible (responding ‘rather’ or ‘definitely’ yes), while 32.7% feel war won’t occur. Donetsk and Luhansk (the Donbas) were the only regions where the majority felt civil war was possible. Dnipropetrovsk was the most convicted (‘definitely’) that civil war would take place (20.3%), but no region was equally as convinced it would not (Odessa being the greatest with 16.5% feeling civil war ‘certainly’ would not occur). When asked the most likely thing to cause anxiety, more were concerned with crime and the economy than all else.

Despite growing fear in crime and violence, and distrust in government institutions, 83% are against the right to bear arms with uniform figures across all regions. Dnipropetrovsk held the highest favor of the initiative with 10.7%. Only 4.4% said they would take up arms in the event of a civil war.

A Russian Invasion

With regards to Russian intervention in Ukraine, 19.3% of Donetsk and Luhansk support a Russian incursion, nearly twice the Southeastern average. Aside from the aforementioned two and Kharkiv (70%), 4/5ths of respondents in all other regions outright opposed Russian intervention. Kherson, which borders Crimea, held the greatest fear that Russia would invade (45.3%).

When asked what would prompt residents to take up arms, only 5.3% in the Southeast said a Russian invasion would push them to arm themselves, but twice as many would fight in the event of a threat to the territorial integrity of Ukraine. However, over half in the Southeast would fight if there was a threat to their safety or to that of their family. When asked specifically what they would do in the event of a Russian invasion, 20.9% said they would fight while 7% said they would welcome Russian forces. Most said they would stay at home and not involve themselves in military matters. Of course, this data includes all respondents and not only men of fighting age.

Distrust in Government

In the entire Southeast, 45% view the central government under Turchynov to be in varying degrees a legitimate entity, while over 50% do not. The figure of general certainty that the government is illegitimate is most concentrated in Donetsk (74%) and Luhansk (70%) while the highest levels of support came from Odessa (38.5%), Dnipropetrovsk (39.4%), and Mykolaiv (55.1%). 36.8% of the Southeast also considers Parliament itself to be an illegal organ of the state, but more respondents found it to be legal (42.3%). Despite this, majority of all regions, however, found deposed president Viktor Yanukovych to not be the legal president of the country.

Revolution or Coup?

46% of those in the Southeast consider the Ukrainian Revolution to have been a coup organized by the West, while 41.7% view the events as a revolution against a tyrannical dictator. Donetsk and Luhansk are the only regions where a majority hold the view that a coup occurred, while Dnipropetrovsk, Mykolaiv, Odessa, and Kherson held the opposite, pro-revolutionary view via majority.

Presidential elections

In all regions but the Donbas, pro-Euromaidan oligarch Petro Poroshenko dominates preliminary election polls. In Donetsk Poroshenko (10.4%) ranks second to Tihipko (12.4%), and in Luhansk he ranks third with 7.7% as Tihipko and Dobkin split the pro-Russian vote with roughly 9% each. A third of respondents in the Southeast so far have not yet made up their minds, and 11.5% say they will boycott the elections.
