Summary/Abstract: The article analyses the distribution of power among factions and groups in Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine (1990-2012). It uses Banzhafs power index including the simple and constitutional majority's index and a-index which takes into account factions' and groups' preferences for coalition making. It is shown that the power of a faction evaluated on the basis of Banzhaf index might significantly differ from its actual share of seats. It is shown that when the a-index is used groups and fractions who have indirect power increase their influence whereas radical ones lose it.
