Vasil Protyvsikh, previously known as Vasil Humeniuk, has changed his last name in the hope that he'll get support from the many disillusioned Ukrainian voters out there.
Protyvsikh, 63, who is currently working as a manager at the Ivano-Frankivsk chamber of commerce and industry, said that he borrowed the $312,000 required to register as a candidate from relatives and friends.
"Againstall" is now the 15th candidate to register for Ukraine's January election.
Even sadder is that the "Againstall" question has come up before.

Ensuring child rights still a challenge, 20 years after landmark treaty - UN officials
The Convention on the Rights of the Child has become the most widely accepted human rights treaty in history, but 20 years after its adoption, much more remains to be done to turn its promises into reality for millions worldwide, top United Nations officials said today.
Recent polls show that some 10 percent of the Ukrainian population might opt to vote against all candidates, so Protyvsikh actually might end up doing reasonably well.
