Chemerys says he was mostly relying on people-to-people communications and small group of dedicated campaign volunteers so that the whole campaigning cost him and the party as low as U.S. $600.{{citation needed|date=June 2007}} Later, Volodymyr Chemerys was also elected as the regional party leader in the city of Kiev. UWK and other anti-Kuchma campaigns{{main|Ukraine without Kuchma}}In 2000, Volodymyr Chemerys co-founded the "Ukraine without Kuchma" campaign. A co-founder of the Ukraine Without Kuchma and a member of the NSF,[2] Chemerys has been an effective public speaker and an active negotiator. For example, in an address to parliament, Chemerys described the disappearance of journalist Georgiy Gongadze and the audio tapes presented by Socialist leader Oleksandr Moroz apparently implicating President Kuchma as "the last drop that filled the cup of distrust in the authorities.[3] In addition, he was one of the representatives of the campaign received by their political enemy President Kuchma. Chemerys has also been active participant of subsequent protest campaigns started by the opposition against Leonid Kuchma. During one protest in March 2001, Chemerys was hospitalized with a head injury along with Andriy Shkil, the leader of the right-wing UNA-UNSO party.[4] While in the hospital, Chemerys learned that a warrant for his arrest had been issued.[5] Chemerys in the Orange Revolution{{main|Orange Revolution}}Unlike predominant majority of his UWK co-participants, Volodymyr Chemerys was sceptical to Viktor Yuschenko during the 2004 presidential election and even participated in the marginal "Ashamed to vote!" campaign (meaning "for any of the candidates"). Recent developmentsIn September 2006, Chemerys visited Prairie Village, Kansas, United States on one stop on a three-week nationwide tour to witness and explore democracy in real life.[6] Chemerys was presented to the city as a Board member of the Institute for Social and Economic Studies and Ukrainian Helsinki Human Rights Union.[6] Despite his political start in a rightist party, Volodymyr Chemerys is now declaring leftist views. He is currently heading the "Respublica" Institute - a left-liberal non-governmental organization. Its most known project is advocacy of the freedom of assembly and oversight of police attitude towards participants of political rallies and mass events.[7] Recently, Chemerys participated in a public investigation of a loud police brutality scandal concerning clashes on a Ukrainian Football Cup-2007 final game held at the Olimpiysky Stadium.[8] In 2011 Volodymyr Chemerys and other civic activists have started a National Initiative “For Peaceful Protest!”, a voluntary coalition of independent NGOs from all over the country, which stand against attempts to limit the right to peaceful assembly in Ukraine (http://www.zmina.org.ua). Chemerys is also leading the continuous public campaign aimed to remembrance of Taras Protsiuk, Ukrainian TV-cameraman killed during Iraq War by U.S. tank fire, and proper investigation of the death. As part of the campaign, the activists conduct occasional protest vigils of the United States embassy in Kiev with a slogan "Bush, we remember that!". See also
