The article is dedicated to the study of electoral political culture in Ukraine in the view of the most recent Ukrainian Parliamentary Elections. After presenting the theoretical background of the political culture concept and context of the examined case study, the authors examine the Ukrainian Parliamentary Elections of 2012 to establish the factors that influence the electoral political behaviour of Ukrainians. The results of surveys carried out in cooperation with the Sociological Laboratory in Sumy, Ukraine lead authors to conclude that electoral behaviour of Ukrainian voters depends on their rational and emotional evaluations of individual candidates and political parties.

Abstract

Članek je posvečen študiji volilne politične kulture v Ukrajini v kontekstu zadnjih ukrajinskih parlamentarnih volitev. Po predstavitvah teoretičnega ozadja koncepta politične kulture in konteksta preučevane študije primera, se avtorice osredotočijo na ukrajinske parlamentarne volitve 2012, da bi ugotovile glavne dejavnike, ki vplivajo na volilno politično obnašanje Ukrajincev. Na podlagi rezultatov raziskav, ki so bile opravljene v sodelovanju s Sociološkim laboratorijem mesta Sumy v Ukrajini, avtorice sklenejo, da na volilno obnašanje ukrajinskih volivcev vplivajo njihova racionalna in čustvena vrednotenja posameznih političnih kandidatov in političnih strank.
