From "Our Ukraine" newsletter update: SECRET TAPES COULD UNCOVER ELECTION FRAUD SCHEME
Kyiv, Ukraine – Viktor Yushchenko's presidential campaign managers possess audio taped recordings of conversations held among top Ukrainian government officials and their aids documenting vote count manipulations, instigation of violence at polling stations, and falsification of election protocols. The tapes include conversations with central election commission leaders as well as top aids to President Leonid Kuchma. Personnel from Ukraine's Security Service passed the secret tapes to Yushchenko campaign managers.
The audiotapes are similar to those released in September 2000, which unveiled that the murder of investigative reporter Georgi Gongadze was tied allegedly to Ukraine's President Leonid Kuchma and other top government officials. A partial transcript of the taped conversations can be found on the 24 November Internet site www.pravda.com.ua in both Russian and Ukrainian.
Here is the Transcript and addt'l info. Hey Despots, ain't this internet a bitch! So much for GroupThink!
Shades of Rathergate!
Ouch! Check out the one line

How Yanukovich Falsified the Elections. Intercepted Phone Calls of the Head Office
Ukrains'ka pravda, 24 November 2004
[translated by Yulia Yarotska for UKL]
High ranked officials of the law enforcement bodies have passed to the Yushchenko's office
audio files and prints of the conversations from the "shaded" office of Yanukovich. The
information clearly shows that Yanukovich firmly controlled the voting and votes counting
processes during both rounds of election. With the help of "detaching" coupons (which
gives people the right to vote at a different occasion than the one they are registered
for if there is a justified need), "closed" voting, voting at home and other methods,
Yanukovich and his team were able to reach their goals with little problems. The
application of mobile voting, the knowledge of exact numbers of "detaching" coupons, and
usage of manipulative technologies as well as usage of exit-polls results gave them an
advanced knowledge of precise final results.
Here are prints of only three conversations that took place on the day of second round of
elections; the original language is preserved. Yushchenko's office promises that the mass
media will have audio files during next few hours.

Levenets (the political technologist of Yanukovich): How do you do?
Unknown: We have results for 14:30; for now we are losing by1,46%
Levenets: Are we losing overall?
Unknown: We have interviewed 6.700, that is 60% of our sample. As I understand, the
dynamics will favour us from now, because all these "villagers" have already voted. We'll
gain advantage.
Levenets: When will we have the approximate results?
Unknown: After 19:00. We have agreed that we'll make them before 18:00.
Levenets: We have to have aan dvantage already at 18:00. Do you keep in touch with Edik?
Unknown: Yes. At what time do you need results?
Levenets: At 18:00 according the preliminary results we have to have an advantage.
Unknown: I have agreed with him that I'll give him real results, he will produce
parameters; he will need half an hour. Hold on, we are finishing at 18:00; so we'll have
results at 19:00. After 19:00 I'll give you the results. We'll settle down the parameters
and will come to the required results.
Levenets: Deal then.

Levenets: Greetings! How do you do?
Valeriy: Not very good. We have negative results.
Levenets: What do you mean?
Valeriy: 48.37 for opposition, 47.64 for us.
Levenets: Is this for 18:00?
Valeriy: We have agreed for a 3-3,5% difference in our favour. We are preparing a table
with the results per oblast; you'll have it by fax in 15-20 minutes.
Levenets: How many people have been interviewed at 18:00?
Valeriy: 10612
Levenets: Is this "real"?
Valeriy: Yes. Can we place this data on our website? Or should we give it to Interfax, so
we are not exposed on TV?
Levenets: Call Prutnik, he is in charge on these issues.
Valeriy: I think we need to speed up the organizational measures to avoid possible
complications.
Levenets: I've understood. Keep in touch.

Unknown is telling Sergey Kliuev (the brother of the current head of the Yanukovich
office, Andrey Kliuev), that "at KPI in one hour they have increased by 30%"
Unknown: We have forced the students outside, the professors were controlling the gates:
"do not allow anyone from outside!"
Kliuev: Let's send our support group over there.
Unknown: We have already did it.
Kliuev: So let's organize some fights or something like this.
Unknown: Already in progress.

Levenets: How do you do? What is going on? How come Kiev is rising?
Unknown: I have the next situation: roughly I have 18.2% for our candidate and 76% for
Yushchenko.
Levenets: have you already summarized everything?
Unknown: Yes, and I have a plan for next step.
Levenets: Do you have all protocols?
Unknown: Yes, but in CEC they put aside 7 protocols, according to my order. I have to
decide now whether to cancel them or not.
Levenets: Do you have any reasons to cancel them?
Unknown: Yes.
Levenets: So what is the problem?
Unknown: The parameters will be lower, but the balance will be better.
Levenets: Send to hell these parameters; the balance will be better!
Unknown: Sure.
Levenets: So, no questions; do it.
Unknown: I've got it. I will try to do it now.
Levenets: No problems. We are in the black. Improve our balance; we'll simply advance even
more.
These are only some talks that were provided by Yushchenko's representatives. In general
we have access to the conversations between Yanukovich representatives from October 30 up
to today's morning.
The voices of Medvedchuk, Kivalov, brothers Kliuev, Tsariov, Liovochkin, Prutnik are
recorded. Oleg Rybachuk, the head of the Yushchenko's office, has stated that these
conversations will be publicized shortly. They are currently preparing to provide
international organizations, embassies of foreign countries and NGOs with the copies of
records of conversations.
One of the deputies has stated that he is preparing to transfer the records to the office
of Prosecutor General of Ukraine and Security Service of Ukraine (SBU); he will demand
explanations or justifications about the validity of the information.
Rybachuk has emphasized that the person who provided Yushchenko's representatives with the
samples is in a safe place. The person is ready to testify in court and to affirm and
guarantee the validity of this evidence.
