Well, look at it from the other side. What has the influence of professional politicians brought Ukraine? Maybe it'll turn out to be a good thing to have a non-professional politician as the president.
I for sure sincerely hope so that this guy can contribute to breaking Ukraine's political status-quo. I've had the honor of living there for almost a year in my 20's and I like Ukraine, therefore even I consider it a pity to see this country and the people suffer.
