Abstract
This article argues that parliamentarization in contemporary Ukraine is barely more than an elite strategy, lacking essential mechanisms and preconditions on the institutional level and habitual capabilities on the individual one. This contribution scrutinizes origins and consequences of this incongruity by analyzing parliamentarians' social background, patterns of political career and the structure of 'personal integrity'. Currently, these factors do not 'add up' with the internal logic of a parliamentary-presidential Republic.
