Original data on deputies elected in 2010 and candidates in Ukraine's 2015 regional elections examines the political survival of former Party of Regions members. Approximately one-third of former PoR regional deputies were renominated in the 2015 elections. The study by Torikai, Masatomo, hosted on Harvard Dataverse, analyzes how individual resources, ideological embeddedness, and political geography shaped renomination prospects.
