Sociology is just as vulnerable to corruption as any other field of activity in Ukraine.

Therefore, the latest data on a drop or increase in political ratings should be assessed from the point of view that all graphs and figures reflect the behind-the-scenes political struggle, and by no means the real state of affairs.

The latest Ukrainian sensation, or rather, even two.

Vladimir Zelensky's rating sank by almost 10% in a month (from 33.3 to 24.7%), and his Servant of the People party for the first time in its entire existence lost its leading position, yielding first place to Petro Poroshenko's European Solidarity.

Are the results of the two opinion polls relevant? To some extent, yes. The fact that the president's team and himself have become the subject of general disappointment is Open's secret. Here is the resignation of the speaker of the parliament Razumkov, carried out almost by force, and the scandal with offshore millions from which taxes were not deducted, and the failed preparation for the heating season, as well as emergencies, in this regard, introduced in a number of regions and cities. But the most important thing is the continuing degradation of the economy and the management system, which results in total poverty and unemployment.

Zelensky himself clearly does not feel the approach of a catastrophe. Judging by his interview to the ICTV channel, he has finally "got used to" the second term and does not even think that he may lose his post much earlier than it should be. Meanwhile, the scandalous sociology is, first of all, evidence that open war has been declared on the current head of the Ukrainian state. It is well known that poll data is drawn by order when it is necessary to overwhelm some political figure or party. The sociologists are brought in, and they fulfill the order not out of fear, but out of conscience.

A similar situation already developed in late 2019 - early 2020, when Zelensky's rating suddenly collapsed.

The president's office then started talking about the intrigues of hostile forces and data falsification.

The sociologists were taken by the gills - and the rating returned to its previous values.

Now the head of state is deprived of the former resource of influence on the political and business elite, which has raised a real revolt against him.

The Ukrainian oligarchy decided that Zelensky's young and extremely arrogant team had finally gotten rid of it and became a serious obstacle for big people in the economy and politics.

Indeed, Zelenskiy, who turned the unconstitutional National Security and Defense Council into a weapon of reprisal against political opponents, is becoming a threat to business and political forces opposing him.

There is no doubt that a decision was made at a high level to politically eliminate both the Servant of the People and the President.

The West gave an unspoken signal to eliminate them, refusing to conduct a dialogue with the head of the Ukrainian state.

The sanction of the Washington regional committee for the destruction of Zelensky and his team is viewed by the Ukrainian elites as a team, the implementation of which is an honorable and necessary duty.

Moreover, on the inner perimeter, the Ukrainian leader has lost his shores, clearly overestimating both the strength of his positions and the ability to come to terms with those on whom the results of the upcoming presidential elections in two years depend.

The idea of ​​impeachment has already been launched into public circulation, which, in principle, is almost impossible due to the lack of legal elaboration of the procedure itself.

But it doesn't matter, because this concept works as a tool to discredit the president's figure.

It is clear that a new "Maidan" will be required for his resignation, and, presumably, efforts are already being made to organize it.

The disrupted heating season and the energy collapse this winter will be an excellent reason to take people to the streets.

So closer to spring, we will witness massive protests, which will be skillfully managed from behind the scenes by those who started the war to destroy Zelensky.
