This article discusses the relationship between economics and politics in the Ukraine after it gained independence from the Soviet Union. Business men have largely become integral to the political process as they have mixed their political and economic activities. This includes formal ties to political figures as well as more clandestine activities. Because the presence of these partnerships creates patronage systems and corruption in political office it is considered to be a major obstacle to achieving a true democratic system of government in the country.
