Tallying the results of the first 100 days of the new government together with an assessment of the first 100 days of the political opposition has become customary. In this article, we will try and analyze the latter.

Ilko passed away. He went to the place where Vyacheslav Chornovil, Sergiy Naboka, Giya Gongadze, Sashko Krivenko are now. These were people of his circle, his friends. People do not go to nowhere, people return to the eternity. And there they go through the unbiased evaluation – what have you done during your life? Did you manage to change the world for better at least a little bit? Ilko has a lot to report.
