All-Ukrainian Union "Svoboda"

All-Ukrainian Union "Svoboda" positions itself as a political force with a clearly defined ideology of social nationalism and is one of the few parties in Ukraine with a long development history. It traditionally enjoys the greatest support in the western regions of the country, where it is represented in local government bodies and has an extensive network of branches. As of 2020, the party was represented in regional councils and had its own mayors in Ternopil, Ivano-Frankivsk, and Khmelnytskyi.

At different stages of its activity, the party faced both internal conflicts and the departure of individual members, accompanied by political disputes over mandates and party discipline. At the same time, "Svoboda" actively participated in electoral processes, particularly in parliamentary and presidential elections, often uniting with other nationalist forces to strengthen political influence.

The party's peak support came in 2012, when it received over 10% of the votes and formed a faction in the Verkhovna Rada. In subsequent years, the level of support declined, prompting the party to seek allies and new formats of political activity. At the local level, the party maintains influence, regularly securing representation in government bodies.

The history of "Svoboda" began in 1991 with the creation of the Social-National Party of Ukraine, which later transformed into the modern political force. Oleg Tyahnybok played an important role in its formation, heading the party since 2004 following its renaming.

The party also distinguished itself through active participation in socio-political events, notably during the Revolution of Dignity, and with the onset of the war in eastern Ukraine, its representatives joined combat actions as part of volunteer formations.

The party’s funding comes from both state funds and private donors, including certain businessmen. At the same time, the party's activities have been accompanied by scandals related to financial reports and sources of income.
