The Team of Winter Generation (Ukrainian: Команда Озимого Покоління; Komanda Ozimogo Pokolinnja) was an electoral alliance in Ukraine. At the parliamentary elections on 30 March 2002, the alliance won 2.0% of the popular vote and no seats.^[1]

The alliance had the following members:^[2]

Constitutional Democratic Party (Konstitucijno-Demokratyčna Partija)
Liberal Democratic Party of Ukraine (Liberal'no Demokratuyčna Partija Ukrajiny)
Party of Private Property (Partija Privatnoi Vlasnosti)
Ukrainian Peasant Democratic Party (Ukrajins'ka Selkans'ka Demokratyčna Partija)

Team of Winter Generation strongly resembled the successful 1999 electoral campaign of the Russian Union of Right Forces. The total expenditure of the campaign was estimated at $15 million. The party focused on creating a liberal, youthful image. Non-members could win a place on the party list by winning a TV-show on ICTV. The party score was not better in its target group then in other age groups.^[3]
