Dictatorship Resistance Committee


The Dictatorship Resistance Committee was an alliance in Ukraine formed by several parliamentary factions, political parties and opposition activist groups that opposed the Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych. Parliamentary members of the alliance joined the All-Ukrainian Association Fatherland as an umbrella coalition All-Ukrainian Association Fatherland - United Opposition in the 2012 Ukrainian parliamentary elections.

History

The Dictatorship Resistance Committee formed in August 2011 and came to join some other opposition alliances that were already active; most parties had joined forces one year earlier in People's Committee to Protect Ukraine. It was especially designed to promote public and civic actions against the conviction of former Ukrainian Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko, who was also the leader of one of the member parties.
Late September 2011 Tymoshenko called for the opposition to run the elections on a single-party ticket. In November 2011, the parties of the Dictatorship Resistance Committee chose the candidates who would be on the joint electoral lists for the electoral district ballots in the 2012 Ukrainian parliamentary elections.
