Ukrainian citizens most positively regard historical figures Bohdan Khmelnytsky and Mykhailo Hrushevsky, and most negatively Joseph Stalin, Mikhail Gorbachev and Vladimir Lenin, according to a survey conducted by Rating Sociological Group in late October.

Some 73 percent of respondents regard Khmelnytsky entirely or rather positively, while 7 percent are more likely to regard him negatively. The response to the same question for Hrushevsky was 68 percent and 8 percent, respectively.
