Jewish army of Ukraine
You will laugh at them again, but the entire "Ukrainian" opposition is completely made up of Jews: grandmother Klichkov name was Tamara Efimovna Etinson. Julia's grandfather Tymoshenko- Abram Kelmanovich Kapitelman. Grandmother of the head of "Freedom" Tyagnybok bore a true Khohlyatsky surname Frotman. Rabbit mother Senya Yatsenyuk- Maria Grigorievna (nee Buckeye), belongs to an ancient Jewish family, dating back to the most authoritative interpreter of the Talmud, Rabbi Bakai. Oligarch Poroshenko at birth was Valtsman. has an Israeli passport. The former mayor of Odessa, the right hand of Klichkov, - Eduard Iosifovich Hurwitz.
Eduard Khodos: who are the Klitschko brothers by nationality?
Rabbi Khodos Eduard Davidovich - Head of the religious Jewish community of Kharkov, author of 20 books, on the basis of which a unique "people's library" was created. About 1000 of its branches operate throughout Ukraine. Each cell of the 15 founders-agitators who filled out the questionnaire, on the basis of the book fund formed by the author, conducts educational work in the region. Thus, a multimillion-strong army of readers has been created. So, through the efforts of tireless researchers of the "Jewish question", she lost her national pride: two Ukrainian lads with a pronounced Ukrainian surname Klitschko overnight turned into the grandchildren of a Jewish grandmother, living in Germany and bearing a surname, the root of which is the word "Klitsch", which sounds the same in both German and Yiddish. Two heroic brothers - almost the only national treasure that once rich and strong Ukraine had - suddenly turned into "pride of the Jewish people" and began to personify the "Jewish presence in boxing" ... ...
Jewish secrets of Arseniy Bakai-Yatsenyuk
The theme of Yatsenyuk's Jewish roots has already set the teeth on edge. However, given the fact that recently she has been on the radar again, we could not pass by fresh publications on this topic in the Ukrainian media. “How the hell reacts people's deputy from the NU-PSD Arseniy Yatsenyuk on the topic of his nationality. As funny as it may seem, but looking at the face of Arseniy Petrovich, who panickedly denies being Jewish, one recalls the anecdote that "they hit in the face, not in the passport." This begs the question: why is the obvious (from - visible to the eye) Jew Yatsenyuk so absurdly and so emotionally denying something that does not need proof? - such a question is asked by the DailyUa edition. An attempt to answer this question is devoted to the publication entitled “Why does the Jew Yatsenyuk hide that he is a descendant of the famous interpreter of the Talmud?” ... ...
Yatsenyuk jarred the Jews with his renunciation of the nation

Tyagnibok-Frotman
... it is enough to type the name of now the most important nationalist of Ukraine, as you can immediately see a lot of tags, such as: "Tyahnybok-Jew-Frotman". For some reason, many Net users are sure that Tyagnibok is still a Jew. "His grandmother's maiden name is Frotman(among Jews, nationality is transmitted through the female line). The surname Frotman is quite common among Ukrainian Jews,” dozens of users of the world wide web scribble. They also did not forget Pan Oleg's grandfather, or rather his great-grandfather: it turns out that he is also allegedly a Jew by name and surname: Lengin Tsegelsky. These are the pies...
And here is TIMES for you: it turns out Tyagnibok does not like Hitler: on August 3, 2007, in response to a request to report on his attitude towards Adolf Hitler as a “fighter for the Aryan race”, Tyagnibok stated the following: “The attitude towards Hitler is negative, because he did ... And in general, if you continue to write to me in German, then remember that I graduated from a Jewish special school and can’t stand it ... ”Yes, he wrote it, only in Ukrainian and with Tyagnybok impudence ...

Among the richest Jews there are also Ukrainians!
Israeli Hebrew language website of the international economic publication Forbes published a list of the 165 richest Jews in the world. In this list, along with the head of the corporation Oracle Larry Ellison ($43 billion), Michael Bloomberg ($27 billion) and Sheldon Edelson ($26.5 billion), Ukrainian citizens are also present - Rinat Akhmetov($15.4 billion, 47th place), Victor Pinchuk($3.8 billion, 56th) and Petro Poroshenko($1.6 billion, 931 seats). And if Pinchuk never hid his belonging to the Jewish tribe, then the appearance of Akhmetov and Poroshenko in the list is very amusing. Both domestic oligarchs have never been publicly circulated that they are descendants of Abraham... Read more...
Secret in Russia becomes clear in Ukraine
As we agreed with our wonderful and caring readers, the time comes when we must discover what our analysts consider the most likely development of events in the triangle Ukraine, Russia, EU. This is not the first time a person who is known to our readers under the pseudonym "Stork" spoke to me. This melancholy, long-nosed, bespectacled man has a special insinuating voice that can set you up for understanding, not denial. However, his past forecast also suggests that it is more profitable to listen to him than to argue with him. The first question to him was a request to clarify: is it true that on Friday in Sochi he sealed his entry into the Customs Union with his signature? This news, which appeared on the pages of the Web, almost polarized all users of the Web. I so wanted an answer. This should be a real analyst's answer, an answer with arguments and detailed calculations. In general, this time I decided that I would not give my analyst the freedom that he enjoyed in previous times.
I will ask him questions, let it be an interview. My questions and his answers, otherwise he is much to get out. He will say something smart, and he will seem to answer, but I see that he said this to illustrate his answer, but how he came to him, what is behind all this, what information he owns - remains behind this an answer to me absolutely invisible and incomprehensible to me. I thought about it on the way to it. It's getting dark early in New York now, and today it's a little nasty winter rain, in America a little rain, almost fog, is called "drizzle" (drizzle). For some reason, it always seemed to me like this since childhood, and then I never thought that in my adult life I would go on a winter evening to a strange type through the city, yellow from a taxi even in the foggy night twilight.
The very first question asked at the beginning of the article made him smile, and I forgot about all my moods.
- Well, what do you think? There are two people in this story...
– Yanukovych and Putin?
– No, Putin and Lucas. The same Lucas who disbanded this information through. Luckily, I'm reasonably "familiar" with both of them. I watch a lot on TV about one and read materials from the other in the newspapers. Although in this particular case, the forecast can be made, knowing even just one person. If we talk about Mr. Lucas, then this is a journalist-intelligence, a journalist-provocateur. His first book was called The New Cold War. He worked in Europe and in the post-Soviet Baltic, then became the chief editor of the Moscow bureau. People like Lucas always launched ducks, but these ducks always flew in the "right direction." Now, on the “decreasing Maidan”, it is necessary to “rejuvenate the yeast”, for this there are such journalists as Lucas. However, even without knowing Lukash, but knowing Putin, one can understand that the agreement on joining the CU not signed. With some certainty, we can say that the two heads of state shook hands, but this does not mean that they have already signed all the papers. No, we have just received an agreement in principle.
- From what does this follow?
- This follows from many things, but the most striking is that Putin will not sign the treaty behind closed doors. Suppose tomorrow someone says that Yanukovych did not conclude anything with Putin, and that his signature was forged. In the case of closed doors, it is difficult to refute. In the case of extensive media coverage, it will not be possible to get away - the whole world saw how you signed the agreement together - Yanukovych and Putin. There is a second point, the signing of an agreement on joining the CU is a powerful blow to. It cannot be hidden. This is a huge foreign policy victory. Putin will not agree to sign a treaty and lose such a huge competitive advantage. If Russia signs such an agreement with Ukraine, the whole of Europe would become half a neck lower. Even now, with only rumors, everyone on the Maidan has become uncomfortable. The people see all the futility of what is happening and.
– Speaking of leaders: What is their program?
- That's the point, that the trinity has no plans. Disorganized crowds poked like blind puppies, they follow the events, dangle back and forth in columns between various buildings in the center of Kyiv, but they have no plan. The revolution is at least one step ahead. Revolution is an idea, passion, as Lev Gumilyov said - passionarity ( passion- passion). So, everything is in order with passionarity among the Maidanovites, but they have no plan of action, except for one thing - opposition to the authorities. This is a very bad sign. If the authorities speak badly, we will say well, the authorities will speak to the East, we will speak to the West. The authorities will say winter, but what will we say - summer? Tymoshenko would, of course, quickly find a use for everything, and already in Brussels she would “rub” the European deputies for another tens of billions, which, in the end, would fall into her pocket. There is no idea in the "trinity". What to do is unknown. And at this time, the authorities came to their senses, and now, like a boa constrictor, squeeze the rings.
Arrested people have appeared who will now begin to testify, all this will result in confirmation of participation in the bloody deeds on the Maidan. Here the strings will lead to Freedom and Europe. There are still those ukhaki. This is what Europe fears the most. If the Ukrainian authorities manage to find evidence of financial support for extremism in Ukraine, Europe will be guilty of everything, and the issue of the active phase of the absorption of Ukraine will be removed from the agenda, but only until the next time. However, it looks like they will have to answer for what they have done now, and here the opposition has poor prospects. As they say, "God's millstones grind slowly but finely". So, to powder, the authorities will sweep away the opposition. Now the rollback from the Maidan will begin. It is impossible to rally for any length of time. Families will have to be fed anyway. And the “trinity” has nothing to pay for the Maidan. So you will have to return to your western regions with nothing but anger and centrifugal moods.
Two theories of one broom
– We examined what is happening around the triangle under study, well, what would Putin have to do in order to break the pack ice in relations between the two countries? What, in fact, should Putin have done that could strengthen Russia's position in the world and bring the Russian and Ukrainian peoples closer together? Putin understands that the synergy of the two states exceeds the simple sum of capacities. And what do you think would be necessary to do this?
- The question is quite simple, if you find the answer to the question that lies under it. There are some fundamental questions which determine the foundations of the state, its orientation, its ability to develop and its ability to defend itself through the national idea of its society. Today, listening to various political scientists, representatives of various foreign foundations, the communists who persecuted dissidents no longer seem so wrong, because today, among the opposition, it dominates, which is trying to impose its will on the moderate majority. The West, inculcating some chimerical values of the individual personality, is trying to destroy the communal way of life of Russians, realizing that the communal way of life is a much stronger social formation, in which it is impossible for Western “individuals” to destroy the existing Russian community. There is nothing unusual in this maxim - the individual and divided West cannot successfully resist the communal East. For this you need destroy the communal way of Russians. The question that Russia must decide for itself can be formulated as follows: Does Russia need to close itself within national borders and communicate with the outside world by selecting what is necessary and rejecting what is alien, as one option? The second option is to spread the necessary influence to the bordering states to create a friendly belt, thus moving the military infrastructure elements away from their borders.
– The first option seems unrealistic. In today's open world, this behavior will not be successful, do you think this second approach is realistic?
– Once upon a time, back when we were forming in 2010, and only at the first stage of organizing the analytical department, we gave a certain debut forecast, the old-timers of our site will definitely remember this article (a request to readers who remember this article to respond in the comments) . So, that article said exactly what then began to happen in Russia's foreign policy. The essence of the article and the forecast is as follows. It is much more profitable for Russia to trade gas at a discount with neighboring states and thereby draw them into its orbit than to keep troops on the border with them and resist the infrastructure located on their territory. In order for there to be interest in such trade and friendship, it is necessary to sell hydrocarbons to friendly states at a more affordable price. In this case, there will be no need, in addition to the border troops, to keep defense in depth or strike units of the Armed Forces in the region. That is exactly what is happening now.
The article also said that for the correct operation of this mechanism, it would be necessary to do something else. Thus, we proposed a certain discount mechanism for friendly states. That is, the contract is concluded at world prices, but to friendly states when calculating every month from the account minus a certain amount, then we talked, in my opinion, about an amount equal to 10-20% of the gas bill, for example. They receive this discount only because they are "friendly". As soon as a certain country starts behaving unfriendly, it simply loses the “friendly” discount, and in this case, you will have to pay the full tariff for gas, all under the same contract. You don't have to renegotiate the contract.
“Friendliness” is confirmed once a year by the State Duma, so it is in the interests of the border countries to maintain this “friendly” status. In the event that a country begins to behave in a defiant manner, no one simply raises the issue of friendliness for this country, and the discount dies off by itself. The discount is a political tool interactions with neighbors. Interestingly, we were heard in the Kremlin, and a gas contract with Ukraine was born, where a discount of $100 per thousand cubic meters was provided for the location of the Russian fleet in Sevastopol. This is pretty much what we were talking about. So, to some extent, Ukrainians' dissatisfaction with the Kremlin's policy probably extends to us. However, Ukrainians should remember that in such cases it is necessary to look for the perpetrators, starting with themselves.
First broom theory
- In the well-known parable: “about sons, at the head of a dying parent”, an example was given of a broom that the brothers could not break, but they were able to do it by breaking one twig at a time. This is the policy of the Kremlin. This also underlies the communal way of life of the Russian people. tries to make the broom thicker and breaking it, of course, will be more difficult. Moreover, it is necessary to understand that this applies not only to the countries around Russia, but also to the situation within Russia. Today migrants from neighboring republics should fill the country, and the Russian authorities can make migrants citizens of Russia. This means that in 20-25 years Russia may have up to 30 million new assimilated citizens. The thicker the broom, the less likely it is to break.
Second broom theory
– considers what is happening also according to the theory of the broom, but in its Kazakh version. Perhaps readers remember this parable. The dying father had to send an army to conquer some city. Who is to lead the army? Then he called his three sons and also showed the same story with a broom and twigs, and then asked what each of them understood from this story. The two eldest sons said that everything is clear here, you need to stick together, and then no enemy will be able to overcome you. But the youngest son said differently: It is clear that you need to pull out a twig from a broom, and only then break it. As a result, he received an army under his leadership. This is what it is trying to do today. That is, this example shows that when defending, it is more profitable to be together, but when attacking, it is more profitable keep enemies apart. This is a different interpretation of the divide and conquer principle.
- What development of events do you see in Ukraine in the near future?
- Nothing much will happen, Yanukovych's power will stand, and the opposition will continue to subside, like foam on the brew, and this will happen exactly because it happens with the brew - there is no replenishment. A sour product will turn away supporters for a long time. But the Ukrainian authorities have very serious prospects in Russia. This expectation of the inevitability of a meeting with Putin on December 17 seriously oppresses the Maidan people. They understand that influence
February 27, 2014 - Arseniy Yatsenyuk took up the post of Prime Minister of Ukraine at the end of February 2014. Having not been in his position for even six months, he announced his resignation, but it was not accepted by the Ukrainian parliament.
Private bussiness
In 1996 he graduated from Chernivtsi State University with a degree in jurisprudence.
In 2001, he received another diploma from the Chernivtsi Trade and Economic Institute of the Kiev Trade and Economic University (specialty - "accounting and audit"). Candidate of Economic Sciences.
- In December 1992, he became president of the Chernivtsi law firm YUREK Ltd, which dealt with privatization issues. He headed the firm until September 1997.
- From January 1998 to August 2001, he worked at the main office of the Joint-Stock Postal Pension Bank "Aval" as a credit department consultant, advisor to the chairman of the board and deputy chairman.
- From "Aval" Yatsenyuk leaves for civil service.
In September 2001, he was appointed acting. Minister of Economy of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea, in November he becomes a minister "without a prefix", and holds this post until January 2003.
Then Yatsenyuk again moved to Kyiv and until February 2005 worked as the first deputy chairman of the National Bank of Ukraine (from July to December 2004 - after the departure of his boss Sergei Tigipko, who headed the election headquarters of Viktor Yanukovych in the presidential elections - even acting chairman).
The next stage in the biography is a "business trip" to the province: from March to September 2005, Yatsenyuk works as the first deputy of the Odessa governor Vasily Tsushko.
- The next return to the capital was connected with the appointment of Yury Yekhanurov to the post of Minister of Economy in the government. He held it from September 2005 to August 2006.
- In the spring of 2006, after the parliamentary elections, Arseniy Yatsenyuk was considered as one of the candidates for the post of Prime Minister from a possible "orange" coalition. After the creation of the anti-crisis coalition, Viktor Yushchenko in September 2006 appointed Yatsenyuk to the post of First Deputy Head of the Presidential Secretariat - the President's representative in the Cabinet of Ministers. Given the confrontation ("war of powers") between the head of state and the parliamentary majority in alliance with the government headed by the "regionalist" Viktor Yanukovych, we can assume that Yatsenyuk was entrusted with a very responsible direction for Yushchenko. In addition, by separate decrees, the President appointed him a member of the Council of the National Bank of Ukraine and a member of the supervisory boards of the state-owned Oschadbank and Ukreximbank. He also instructed to exercise control over the observance of the constitutional rights of citizens and legislation in the activities of the SBU.
- After his appointment to the Presidential Secretariat, Yatsenyuk was even more talked about as Yushchenko's new favorite. And the widespread statement about joining the party "People's Union "Our Ukraine" (literally on the eve of the October congress) confirmed the assumption that his candidacy would be officially or unofficially proposed to party members as one of the possible new leaders of the NSNU (instead of Roman Bessmertny). Later it turned out that The young politician did not apply to join the party, and since then he has repeatedly stressed that he is not bound by any party obligations, which "is a positive" for him.
- On March 21, 2007, the parliament elected Yatsenyuk head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. This happened after two unsuccessful attempts by the President to install Vladimir Ogryzko, who held the post of First Deputy Foreign Minister and was known as a firm follower of his boss, Boris Tarasyuk, to this post. At the same time, as head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, now the former deputy head of the Presidential Secretariat, he was also appointed a member of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine.
- In the 2007 early parliamentary elections, Arseniy Yatsenyuk entered the Verkhovna Rada under No. 3 of the list of the Our Ukraine - People's Self-Defense bloc (NUNS). On December 4, the coalition between the Yulia Tymoshenko Bloc and the NUNS, formed a few days earlier, cast 227 out of 228 possible votes in favor of electing Yatsenyuk as speaker of parliament. The only person who didn't vote was "Nunsovets", ex-chairman of the Verkhovna Rada Ivan Plyushch, who advocated the creation of a "broad" coalition with the obligatory participation of the Party of Regions in it.
- On November 12, 2008, the factions of the Party of Regions, Communists, the Lytvyn Bloc and the United Center group of the NUNS faction with 233 votes recalled Yatsenyuk from the post of chairman of parliament. This event was the next stage in a protracted political crisis, which was preceded by a permanent war between President Yushchenko and Prime Minister Tymoshenko, a split in the Our Ukraine-People's Self-Defense faction, the collapse of the BYuT-NUNS coalition, unsuccessful attempts to form a new majority in the Verkhovna Rada and a constant search for enemies by the main political players.
- On April 23, 2012, the leader of the "Front of Changes" Arseniy Yatsenyuk and the leader of the All-Ukrainian Union "Batkivshchyna" Yulia Tymoshenko signed the "Declaration of Unity", according to which the parties go to the polls on the electoral list of "Batkivshchyna". The list will be headed by Yulia Tymoshenko and Arseniy Yatsenyuk.
- On July 14, 2012, the congress of the Front for Changes party adopted a unanimous decision that Arseniy Yatsenyuk and members of the Front for Changes go to the polls on the Batkivshchyna list as non-partisan members of the Front for Changes public organization. According to the decision, membership in the party is terminated due to participation in the elections to the Verkhovna Rada within the framework of the United Opposition on the basis of the Batkivshchyna VO. Thus, the chairman of the Council of the United Opposition "Batkivshchyna" Yatsenyuk goes to the parliamentary elections as a non-partisan, chairman of the public organization "Front Change". Other members of the "Front of Changes" party - as non-partisan, members of the NGO "Front of Changes", the report says.
Also, the Congress of the "Front of Changes" decided to assign the duties of the leader of the party during the campaign for the election of people's deputies to the head of the Secretariat of the party Svetlana Voitsekhovskaya.
Membership in the party "Front Change" of candidates for deputies is terminated until the moment of taking the oath of the People's Deputy of Ukraine, the message emphasizes.
As explained in the press service, the decision is purely technical, since the Law "On Elections of People's Deputies of Ukraine" does not provide for the formation of electoral blocs.
- In 2014, in the early elections to the Verkhovna Rada, he ran on the lists of the Popular Front party under No. 1.
- In November 2014, he was elected a People's Deputy of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine of the VIII convocation.
- On November 27, 2014, Yatsenyuk resigned as prime minister and announced the resignation of the Cabinet of Ministers before the newly elected Verkhovna Rada.
- On November 27, 2014, the Verkhovna Rada supported the candidacy of Arseniy Yatsenyuk for the post of Prime Minister of Ukraine for the second time. 341 people's deputies voted for this decision.
- On February 16, 2016, the President of Ukraine turned to Yatsenyuk with a proposal to voluntarily resign. According to Poroshenko, Yatsenyuk's Cabinet made a critical number of mistakes during its work. However, the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine was unable to dismiss the Cabinet of Ministers of Arseniy Yatsenyuk, the deputies lacked 26 votes for this. At the same time, Yatsenyuk, in fact, was saved by the Opposition Bloc, which at the last moment refused to vote for the resignation, saying that the dissolution of the Cabinet of Ministers was an internal showdown of the coalition.
- On April 10, 2016, Arseniy Yatsenyuk resigned from the post of Prime Minister of Ukraine.

Having received a diploma in 1996, the future prime minister heads the firm mentioned above. Further, the business of Arseniy Yatsenyuk gradually began to expand. The future politician successfully privatized several different industrial and agricultural enterprises.
Two years later, in 1998, Yatsenyuk moved to Kyiv. There he got the position of consultant of the credit department in the Joint Stock Postal-Pension Bank "Aval". Already in December 1998, he became an adviser to the chairman of the board of this bank, and after that his deputy.
After that, the biography of Arseniy Yatsenyuk takes an important turn: the chairman of the Crimean Council of Ministers, Valery Gorbatov, invites him to become the minister of the region's economy.
Five years after receiving the first diploma, in 2001, at the age of 27, Arseniy Yatsenyuk receives a diploma of a second higher education in the specialty "Accounting and Audit", having studied at the Chernivtsi Institute of Trade and Economics.
As Crimean Minister of Economy
In September 2001, the political career of Arseniy Yatsenyuk began. On the 19th, he takes over as acting head of the Crimean Ministry of Economy, and two months later he officially takes office, in accordance with the decision of the parliament.
In April 2002, the entire Council of Ministers of Crimea resigned due to the start of work of the newly elected Crimean Verkhovna Rada. And despite the fact that Valery Gorbatov was replaced by a new prime minister, Sergei Kunitsyn, Arseniy Yatsenyuk managed to retain his position and in May became the full-fledged head of the Crimean Ministry of Economy for the second time.
However, he was destined to work in this position for a little more than six months. In early 2003, he was transferred to a new job and moved to Kyiv.
Arseniy Yatsenyuk and the National Bank of Ukraine
January 2003 marks another important date in Yatsenyuk's life: he is appointed First Deputy to Serhiy Tigipko, Chairman of the National Bank of Ukraine. Later, Tigipko himself recalled this, describing his deputy as a normal team player. How old was Arseniy Yatsenyuk at that time? Then he turned 29.
A year later, at 30, he defends his Ph.D. thesis on the topic: "Organization of the banking supervision and regulation system in Ukraine" and becomes a candidate of economic sciences.
In the same 2004, Yatsenyuk was entrusted with the duties of chairman of the National Bank of Ukraine, since the current head, Sergei Tigipko, headed the election headquarters of Viktor Yanukovych, a candidate for the presidency of Ukraine. Yatsenyuk was supposed to be at the head of the NBU until the end of the election campaign, but other circumstances left him at the helm until mid-December. After the resignation of Sergei Tigipko was accepted by the Verkhovna Rada and a new leader Vladimir Stelmakh was appointed, Yatsenyuk left the post.
During the crisis, Arseniy Yatsenyuk adopted a decree providing for a temporary ban on early withdrawals of bank deposits, which helped to prevent possible negative consequences that political confrontation could lead to. According to the Ukrainian politician and businessman, Yatsenyuk at that time managed to keep both the bank and the currency afloat.
In 2005, in February, Arseniy's resignation was accepted, and he resigned from the position he held.
A month later, in March, Yatsenyuk was appointed first deputy chairman of the Odessa regional administration, Vasyl Tsushko, under whom he worked until he was appointed Ukraine's economy minister in late September. From that moment on, the biography of Arseniy Yatsenyuk acquires a bright political coloring, and he becomes a prominent figure in big politics.
Arseniy Yatsenyuk at the head of the Ministry of Economy of Ukraine
September 2005 was marked for Yatsenyuk when he took office as Minister of Economy of Ukraine in the government headed by Yuriy Yekhanurov.
In May 2006, the entire government was dismissed by the newly elected Verkhovna Rada. At the same time, Arseniy Yatsenyuk was left to perform his duties. He worked for more than two months until he was fired in early August.
As economy minister, Yatsenyuk led negotiations regarding Ukraine's accession to the WTO (World Trade Organization). He also headed the committee "Ukraine - European Union". He also served on the Foreign Investment Advisory Council and headed the board of the Black Sea Trade and Development Bank from late December 2005 to early March 2007.
Yatsenyuk - Deputy Head of the Presidential Secretariat
In September 2006, Arseniy Yatsenyuk, by decree of the then President of Ukraine Viktor Yushchenko, was appointed to the post of First Deputy Head of the Ukrainian Presidential Secretariat. Since that time, he has been the president's representative in the Cabinet of Ministers.
This time was difficult for Yushchenko, since it was then that the Verkhovna Rada fired almost all the ministers who did not share the views of the president. At the same time, since September 2006, Yatsenyuk was included in the board of the NBU (National Bank of Ukraine) and in the supervisory board of the State Export-Import Bank of Ukraine. He vacated these posts in mid-March 2007.
A few days later he was approved for the post of Minister of Foreign Affairs, after which his activities in the Presidential Secretariat were over. This moment, without a doubt, is the date of birth of Arseniy Yatsenyuk as a major, promising, political figure who entered the international arena.
Yatsenyuk at the helm of the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry
In 2007, Arseniy Yatsenyuk was approved as Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine by a vote of the Verkhovna Rada. His candidacy was proposed by President Viktor Yushchenko, when the parliament twice rejected the candidacy of Vladimir Ohryzko, who also applied for the post of minister. At this time, a question began to be raised, which still haunts everyone who does not like Arseniy Yatsenyuk. Biography, the nationality of the politician began to interest his opponents, who openly in their questions called him a Jew, although he always denied this.
Applying for the position, he spoke about the importance of the economy in the framework of Ukraine's foreign policy. He proposes to keep the course towards European integration and strive to enter the markets of Europe. A realistic, pragmatic and predictable Ukrainian foreign policy, in his opinion, would be ideal for the country. He describes cooperation with Russia, speaking of this country as an extremely important partner, with which it is dangerous to conduct an unpredictable dialogue.
According to former Prime Minister of Ukraine Yuriy Yekhanurov, Arseniy Yatsenyuk, in the absence of both professional diplomatic experience and special education, has extensive and rich experience in international work. Andriy Shevchenko, a member of the Yulia Tymoshenko Bloc in Ukraine's Verkhovna Rada, made a statement after Yatsenyuk took office that he is perceived more as a pro-Western person than a pro-Russian one.
Together with the appointment to the post of Minister of Foreign Affairs, Yatsenyuk becomes a member of the Ukrainian National Security and Defense Council.
At this time, the political biography of Arseniy Yatsenyuk again coincided with the instability of the government, since for almost his entire term in office he had to observe an acute political crisis that began in early April 2007, when the Ukrainian parliament was dissolved.
In early July of the same year, Yatsenyuk was nominated to the post of deputy of the Ukrainian Verkhovna Rada by the Our Ukraine - People's Self-Defense party bloc, which actively supported the policies of the Ukrainian president. Because of these events, Arseniy went on unpaid leave, however, in order to control the ministry still under his control, he interrupted his “rest” several times.
In December, he again took a vacation, a couple of days after he became the head of the Verkhovna Rada. And in the middle of the month, Yatsenyuk was dismissed from his ministerial post. This saved him from combining two posts: the head of the Foreign Ministry and the chairman of the Verkhovna Rada.
At the head of the Ukrainian government
November 2007 was marked for Yatsenyuk by taking the oath as a deputy of the Ukrainian Verkhovna Rada, and a month later, by secret ballot, he was elected as the eighth chairman of the Ukrainian parliament, giving 227 votes in his favor.
Yatsenyuk was expelled from the Ukrainian National Security and Defense Council, since his new position did not imply membership in this government body. But almost immediately, on the same day, he again became a member of the National Security and Defense Council - Ukrainian politics is not constant.
In September 2008, he resigned. The reason was the demise of the ruling party.
In November, deputies accepted Yatsenyuk's resignation by secret ballot. The Prime Minister was the first to drop his ballot into the ballot box. But the vote was declared invalid, as there were not enough deputies present.
The next day, Yatsenyuk was removed from the chairmanship by the Verkhovna Rada for a two-day period, after which the secret ballot was replaced with an open one. After the introduction of this innovation, the resignation of Arseniy Yatsenyuk was accepted by a majority vote.
A few days later, he was also expelled from the Ukrainian National Security and Defense Council.
Even while Yatsenyuk was chairman of the Verkhovna Rada, he initiated the development of a system called Rada-3, which included preventing the ability to vote for his colleagues. But its introduction never happened.
And at the end of 2011, as a people's deputy, Arseniy Yatsenyuk came up with a bill amending the regulations of the Ukrainian parliament. According to the document, deputies register and vote using only a touch button and nothing more.
Yatsenyuk and the Front for Change
In mid-December 2008, Yatsenyuk announced the possible creation of a party based on the public initiative Front for Change. In one of his interviews in February 2009, he said that none of the politicians is his ally. At that time, he was often compared to Viktor Yushchenko. And they perceived Yatsenyuk only as a political clone of the Ukrainian president.
In the spring of 2009, in April, Arseniy Yatsenyuk (whose nationality has already been discussed in every corner) openly declares his desire to nominate himself as a candidate for the post of head of state. The presidential campaign of the former head of the Ukrainian government was allegedly estimated at around $60-70 million. On the posters that appeared in the country in the summer of 2009, Yatsenyuk was depicted as a militarist. This was fundamentally different from the image of the “young liberal”, which has already become familiar to everyone. According to some analysts, such a change in image had a negative impact on his campaign. In January 2010, Yatsenyuk said that the campaign had cost him 80 million hryvnias and his publicity was much less than that of his rivals in the race for the presidency. He also said that most of the budget was spent on television advertising and participation in debates.
After the elections, Yatsenyuk intended to achieve the dissolution of the Verkhovna Rada, which, in his opinion, would be an obstacle to his activities. In addition, he did not separate the Party of Regions and the Yulia Tymoshenko Bloc, calling them almost one entity.
According to the results of the presidential elections, he became the fourth with a result of almost 7% of the votes of Ukrainian citizens. There is evidence that the wife of the current head of state, Katherine-Claire Yushchenko, took an active part in Yatsenyuk's election campaign. This is explained by the fact that, while still working in the presidential secretariat, Arseniy supported the financing of the fund, which was managed by the spouse of the head of state.
In the winter of 2010, Yanukovych proposed three candidates for the post of prime minister, among whom was Arseniy Yatsenyuk. The latter rejected his candidacy, not approving the new law, which allowed not only parliamentary factions, but also the majority of individual deputies to form their own personal coalitions.
After these events, he began to call for early presidential elections, as he considered it impossible for himself to be prime minister in a coalition with the communists.
According to the journalist Yulia Mostovoy, in the summer of 2010, it was held as a result of which it turned out that Arseniy Yatsenyuk had every chance of winning the second round of presidential elections and bypassing Viktor Yanukovych. Perhaps if this actually happened, the political biography of Arseniy Yatsenyuk would become even more vivid.
and beliefs
Arseniy Yatsenyuk does not support the privatization of state property and advocated the simplification of the state administration system. He also believes that corruption will be defeated only when the country's governance system changes. I am convinced that only the Ukrainian language should be the state language, but he is against the infringement of the rights of Russian-speaking citizens. According to experts, based on what Arseniy Yatsenyuk says, he does not consider the nationality of citizens to be the dominant factor, for which the majority of both Ukrainians and Russians are ready to express support for him. He also advocates the abolition of the visa regime with the countries of the European Union.
Arseniy Yatsenyuk and his family
Currently, his father is the deputy dean of the Faculty of History at the Chernivtsi National University, his mother teaches French.
Arseniy Yatsenyuk's sister, Alina Petrovna Steele, lives in America, where she moved in 1999 after her brother's marriage. Lives in California. She was married three times, in the third marriage she is raising a daughter and a son. Her current husband is in the real estate business, she helps him. He is fluent in several languages, sometimes works as a translator.
Arseniy Yatsenyuk's wife Teresia, daughter of professor of philosophy Viktor Gur and candidate of philosophical sciences Svetlana Gur. They met in 1998 at a New Year's corporate party at Aval Bank. There Teresia worked as a referent. After the wedding, she takes care of her business, and she also takes care of the family on her shoulders.
What, like any public person, Arseniy Yatsenyuk is reluctant to talk about is children. It is known that he has two of them: the eldest daughter Christina, who was born in 1999, and the youngest daughter Sofia, who is five years younger than her sister and was born in 2004.
To date, the main real estate of Arseniy Yatsenyuk is a country house with a plot of 30 acres, adjacent to the residence of Viktor Yanukovych.
Nationality
During the 2009 presidential election campaign, both the public and the media repeatedly discussed an issue that Arseniy Yatsenyuk himself had never raised first. Biography, nationality - this question did not give rest even to prominent political figures in Ukraine and gave rise to anti-Semitic statements against Yatsenyuk from the mayor of Uzhgorod Serhiy Ratushnyak.
According to the vice-president of the Jewish community of Ukraine Yevgeny Chervonenko, made in 2009, Yatsenyuk is not a Jew. But many do not agree with this and "dig" the prime minister's biography deeper and deeper.
Arseniy Yatsenyuk himself, whose year of birth is 1974, is recorded in the passport as a Ukrainian, his parents are of the same nationality. He repeatedly said that he had nothing to do with the Jews and was proud that he professed the Greek Catholic faith. But no matter what Yatsenyuk says, there are two opposing camps: one of them will stubbornly classify the prime minister as a Jewish nation, the other will prove the opposite. Circumstances in Ukraine have now developed so that ordinary and ordinary things in another time become the cause of numerous scandals, condemnation, and sometimes even violence.
After the election of a new president, who became Poroshenko, Yatsenyuk retained the chair of the prime minister. However, in Ukraine, few doubted that it would be otherwise. According to the head of state, Arseniy Yatsenyuk is the most suitable head of the Cabinet of Ministers today. The prime minister's main goals are to bring Ukraine into the European Union, to establish full control over all regions. Settle all internal and external conflicts. Then bring the country out of the crisis, both financial and political.
Arseniy Yatsenyuk is a well-known Ukrainian politician who at various times held key positions in the government of the country. Since 2014, after active participation in the so-called "Euromaidan", he became the Prime Minister of Ukraine. Until recently, Yatsenyuk was considered one of the most influential figures in Ukrainian politics.
Yatsenyuk Arseniy Petrovich was born on May 22, 1974 in the beautiful Ukrainian city of Chernivtsi in a family of teachers. Mother Maria Grigorievna worked as a French teacher in one of the local schools, and father Petr Ivanovich served as deputy dean of the Faculty of History at the Chernivtsi National University. The head of the Ukrainian government also has an older sister, Alina, who has been living in California since 1999 with her third husband and two children.
Yatsenyuk's childhood years were spent in his native city, where he graduated from a specialized school with in-depth study of English No. 9 with a silver medal, and then became a student at Chernivtsi National University. Arseniy linked his future career with jurisprudence, so he entered the Faculty of Law, which he graduated in 1996. Parents strongly supported the son's desire to study. Teachers speak of the future politician as a diligent, accurate and intelligent student, who was easily given all the sciences both at school and at the university.
Having received a law degree, the future prime minister decided to continue his studies and entered the Kyiv National University of Trade and Economics at the Faculty of Accounting and Audit, which he successfully graduated in 2001.
In 1992, while still a student, Yatsenyuk became a businessman, having founded a law firm with the son of the governor of the Chernivtsi region, Valentin Gnatyshin, dealing with privatization issues of individuals and legal entities. During his work at the head of the law firm, Arseniy Petrovich met many representatives of Ukrainian politics and big business, which became a turning point in his biography.
Politics
The political career of Arseniy Yatsenyuk started in 2001, when he was offered to head the Ministry of Economy in Crimea. But literally two years later, the career growth of the politician rapidly went up, and he moved to Kyiv, becoming the first deputy head of the National Bank of Ukraine, Serhiy Tigipko, who is an associate of the ex-president of Ukraine.
In 2005, having resigned, Yatsenyuk was invited to the post of vice-governor of the Odessa region, where he worked in the team of Vasily Tsushko for about six months, after which he was appointed to the post of Minister of Economy of Ukraine. A year later, the entire Ukrainian government, together with the Minister of Economy, was dismissed, but already in September 2006, Arseniy Petrovich received the post of Deputy Head of the Secretariat of the President of Ukraine.
This period of Yatsenyuk's career was very difficult, as there was an acute political crisis in the country, and all the ministers representing the interests of the then Ukrainian head Viktor Yushchenko were removed from their posts by the Verkhovna Rada. Nevertheless, the politician managed to stay afloat, and in 2007 he became the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, despite the lack of professional diplomatic experience and education. At the same time, becoming the head of the Foreign Ministry, Yatsenyuk receives membership in the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine.
And this period of his political career again coincided with instability in the Ukrainian government, so Arseniy Petrovich managed to hold on to his post only for 11 months, after which he was dismissed. After that, Yatsenyuk created his own political bloc, the Front for Change, whose activities brought the politician fame and popularity among the population.
In society, the politician was perceived as a promising leader, who was predicted to be the president of the country. In 2009, the former head of the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry launched an election campaign in the presidential race, but failed it, taking only fourth place in the elections.
In 2010, Yatsenyuk's candidacy was nominated by the current president of the country, Viktor Yanukovych, to the post of prime minister of Ukraine. But Arseny Petrovich rejected this proposal, since it was unacceptable for him to be prime minister in a coalition with the communists. After that, Yatsenyuk began to call on the parliament for early elections, believing that the illegal attempts of parliamentarians to form a coalition would lead to a state and political crisis in Ukraine.
Against the backdrop of his opposition activities in 2012, the leader of the Front for Change unites with the head of the Batkivshchyna, with whom he forms a common list for participation in the presidential elections and creates a council of the United Opposition.
In 2013, Yatsenyuk, together with Oleg Tyahnybok, led a coordinating protest movement on the Maidan, opposing the current authorities, who suspended the process of preparing the signing of an association agreement between Ukraine and the European Union. A month later, ex-president of Ukraine Viktor Yanukovych, in order to overcome the protracted crisis, offered Arseniy Petrovich the post of prime minister of the country, but he did not agree. Only a month after a similar proposal was put forward at Euromaidan, Yatsenyuk became prime minister within a day.
Leading the government of Ukraine, the opposition politician faced the Crimean crisis and armed conflict in the east of the country. His achievement in his position was the signing of an association agreement between the European Union and Ukraine. Many Ukrainian deputies considered Yatsenyuk's coming to power illegal, with which they turned to the Supreme Administrative Court of Ukraine, where it was decided to open proceedings on this claim.
Yatsenyuk did not wait for the court's decision and arbitrarily resigned. But after the revision in the Verkhovna Rada of some bills providing for the mitigation of certain conditions, in particular in the gas sector, which was in the interests of many of the country's oligarchs, such as, the government did not accept the resignation of Arseniy Petrovich. After holding early elections, he was approved for the post of head of the government of Ukraine.
Prime Minister of Ukraine
The second government of Arseniy Yatsenyuk in the history of Ukraine was a record in terms of the number of members of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine - out of 20 ministers, 8 are among the richest people in the country who previously had nothing to do with bureaucratic work.
The new government of Arseniy Petrovich included 4 foreigners, including the Minister of Economy, US citizen Natalya Yaresko, Minister of Health, Georgian citizen Alexander Kvitashvili, and Minister of Trade, Lithuanian Aivaras Abromavicius, who, after taking office, were granted Ukrainian citizenship by the President of Ukraine.
The program of the Yatsenyuk government was approved in December 2014 - its key areas are reforming in various areas and changing the social security system in the country. Of course, in the post-revolutionary and wartime conditions, the Yatsenyuk government had no chance of becoming successful. Many experts believe that Yatsenyuk did not implement a single item from the approved program due to the unprofessionalism of the Cabinet's staff.
Despite his rather thorny path as Prime Minister of Ukraine, Yatsenyuk does not show his discomfort, adhering to categorical and tough positions. He builds his policy as a business project, the purpose of which is to effectively fight for the economy of Ukraine, whose resources are simply "melting away" against the background of the war.
In view of the fact that the main feature of the politician's character is the desire to get the most profitable result in any undertaking, the reform in Ukraine has not begun over the year of his work. Political scientists believe that this is due to the politician's fear of making a mistake and disappointing the electorate.
The efforts of Arseny Petrovich do not bring results, soon the society demands his resignation. The years of Yatsenyuk's rule were recognized as extremely unsuccessful, the people are literally groaning under the burden of his "reform initiatives", total poverty sets in in the country. President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko took advantage of a similar situation, removing a political competitor who was pulling his rating to the bottom, he actually formed a new leadership of the executive branch, subject only to him alone.
Arseniy Yatsenyuk now
The person of Arseniy Petrovich after his premiership in Ukraine is reacted extremely negatively. Any message in the media about the possible appointment of Yatsenyuk to a high government position is perceived by the public without much enthusiasm.
Where Arseniy Yatsenyuk is now was asked in all corners of Ukraine, because after being the head of the Ukrainian government, Yatsenyuk suddenly disappeared from TV screens. There was less and less news about the politician, many voters began to make their own assumptions about the fate of the official.
Against the background of “silence”, the Ukrainian press reported that the statesman Yatsenyuk was killed, and his body was found in a country house near Kyiv. Such rumors turned out to be false. In addition, even during the premiership, the media reported that Yatsenyuk was preparing to flee abroad, that the politician allegedly received Canadian citizenship. Arseniy Petrovich himself called such data untrue.
In 2017, the Ukrainian media reported that Yatsenyuk could replace Valeria Gontareva as head of the NBU, but the former prime minister himself refused to comment on such reports.
Scandals
The activities of Arseny Petrovich soon even became the reason for the creation of various memes, which became very popular on the Web, and the well-known Ukrainian presenter Aleksey Durnev handed a carrot to the politician at one of the rallies. According to Durnev, such a vegetable is "a symbol of presidential power" for Yatsenyuk.
In December 2015, the incident involving Oleg Barna, a deputy from the Solidarity party, and Arseniy Yatsenyuk was remembered not only in Ukraine. Many foreign media called the delicate situation "Barna's intimate assault on the Prime Minister".
The ex-president of Georgia also takes his place in the biography of Arseniy Yatsenyuk. At the Reform Council, the Georgian reformer quarreled not only with the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but also with the prime minister. Saakashvili called the actions of the head of the Ukrainian government provocative and demanded that the press service of the Presidential Administration release the full video of the conflict.
Yatsenyuk always spoke rather harshly about Russia, accusing the neighboring state of instigating a war in the Donbass, and called the President of the Russian Federation the main culprit of the conflict. According to the Ukrainian politician, it is necessary to strengthen the sanctions measures against the Russian side, as well as to respond more harshly to the "behavior" of Russia. With similar offers, he often visits Western countries. In particular, his last interview with the BBC television and radio company was especially significant, in which the former Ukrainian official spoke about Putin in his usual manner.
“Russia is a challenge for the West. We need to form a strong new policy that will protect our values, freedoms and democracy. Putin wants to get a new geopolitical structure of the world, that's the whole reason. Who is Vladimir Putin in the context of NATO and Ukrainian independence?! We still have a country, we still have a nation, and I don’t care what President Putin wants,” Yatsenyuk said in an interview with the BBC’s Hard Talk program during a visit to the British capital.
Personal life
The personal life of Arseniy Yatsenyuk, unlike his rich political career, is calm, stable and transparent. In 1999, Teresia Viktorovna Gur, who is four years older than the politician, became his wife.
The Yatsenyuks have two daughters, Kristina and Sophia. It is known that Arseny Petrovich's wife is engaged in business, runs a household and takes an active part in the political activities of her husband.
Since 2003, the Yatsenyuk family lived near Kyiv, their two-story mansion with a land plot of 30 acres is located in the village of Novye Petrivtsy, Vyshgorodsky district, next to the residence of the former President of Ukraine Viktor Yanukovych.
Being a wealthy and adult man, the Prime Minister of Ukraine decided to become a Greek Catholic, which he is very proud of. At the same time, Yatsenyuk has repeatedly become a defendant in scandals regarding his nationality. Many politicians believe that Arseniy Petrovich is a Jew by nationality. Despite the fact that such information was not officially confirmed, according to the results of 2009, Yatsenyuk was included in the collection "50 famous Jews of Ukraine."
State
The income of Arseniy Yatsenyuk, according to the declaration of 2015, amounted to about 1 million 150 thousand hryvnia, which is equivalent to 49 thousand dollars. This amount included the salary of the Prime Minister of Ukraine and interest on bank deposits.
The declaration also states that Yatsenyuk is the owner of a land plot (3,000 sq.m), a residential building (300 sq.m), two apartments in Kyiv (225 and 83 sq.m) and a 2010 Mercedes S car.
In 2016, the press reported that Yatsenyuk purchased 24 villas in Miami, but soon the politician himself denied such information.

On December 18, the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine dismissed Yatsenyuk from the post of head of the Foreign Ministry.
On November 23, 2007, Yatsenyuk took the oath of a deputy of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, and on December 4, 2007, following the results of a secret ballot, he became the eighth chairman of the Ukrainian parliament. 227 deputies cast their votes for his candidacy.
On December 16, 2008, Yatsenyuk announced plans to create a political party based on the Front for Change public initiative. In an interview with The Day newspaper on February 4, 2009, he stated that he had no allies among politicians. Yatsenyuk was called a political clone of Ukrainian President Viktor Yushchenko.
In November 2009, Yatsenyuk was elected leader of the Front for Change party, and the party nominated him for the presidency. Yatsenyuk, in the 2010 elections, took only fourth place, receiving 6.96% of the vote.
On February 21, 2010, President Yanukovych proposed three candidates for the post of Prime Minister of Ukraine: Yatsenyuk, Serhiy Tigipko and Mykola Azarov. Yatsenyuk rejected the proposal after the Ukrainian parliament passed an amendment on March 9, 2010, which allowed individual deputies, and not just parliamentary factions, to take part in the formation of a majority coalition. Yatsenyuk did not approve of this amendment and called for early parliamentary elections.
In April 2012, the leader of the Front for Change, Arseniy Yatsenyuk, and the imprisoned leader of the Batkivshchyna, Yulia Tymoshenko, announced the formation of a common list to participate in the parliamentary elections. In June 2012, Yatsenyuk was elected chairman of the council of the United Opposition.
On July 14, 2012, Yatsenyuk and other members of the Front for Change ceased their membership in the party in order to take part in the parliamentary elections on the Batkivshchyna list as non-partisans.
According to the results of the October parliamentary elections, the United Opposition received 62 seats (25.54% of the vote) on the party list and 39 more in majoritarian districts, for a total of 101 seats in parliament. On December 11, 2012, Yatsenyuk was elected chairman of the Batkivshchyna faction, the council of the United Opposition was headed by Oleksandr Turchynov instead.
On June 15, 2013, a unification congress was held in Kyiv, at which Yulia Tymoshenko was re-elected chairman of the Batkivshchyna VO, and Yatsenyuk was elected chairman of the political council of the party at her suggestion.
euromaidan
Since November 21, 2013, together with other opposition leaders Vitali Klitschko and Oleg Tyagnibok, he coordinated protest actions in the center of Kyiv, which began in response to the suspension by the Ukrainian government of the process of preparing for the signing of an association agreement between Ukraine and the European Union.
In order to get out of the protracted political crisis, on January 25, 2014, President of Ukraine Viktor Yanukovych offered Yatsenyuk the post of prime minister, but he refused.
On February 1, 2014, together with other opposition leaders, he took part in the Munich Conference, where he met with US Secretary of State John Kerry and European officials.
On February 26, 2014, the candidacies of the government being formed were presented on the Maidan, in which Yatsenyuk was offered the post of Prime Minister of Ukraine. The next day, the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine adopted a resolution "On the appointment of A.P. Yatsenyuk as Prime Minister of Ukraine."
Under him, the government faced the Crimean crisis and armed conflict in the east of Ukraine, and under him the Association Agreement between Ukraine and the European Union was signed.
On July 24, 2014, Yatsenyuk announced his resignation due to the collapse of the parliamentary coalition and the blocking of government initiatives.
On September 10, 2014, Yatsenyuk and Speaker of the Verkhovna Rada Oleksandr Turchynov led the new Popular Front party. Yatsenyuk was elected chairman of its political council.
On October 26, early parliamentary elections were held in Ukraine. Following the results of the elections, Poroshenko said that he offered Yatsenyuk to head the government of Ukraine. Yatsenyuk's "People's Front" unexpectedly surpassed "Petro Poroshenko's Bloc" by about half a percent.
Income
Arseniy Yatsenyuk's fortune is estimated at several million dollars. According to his recent statements, he has about three million Ukrainian hryvnias in Ukrainian bank accounts.
However, the Prime Minister tactfully kept silent about how many dollars he had in foreign accounts. The real estate of Arseniy Yatsenyuk as of 2013 is also impressive: a country house, a plot, a garage, three apartments in Kyiv.
Rumors, scandals
Yatsenyuk is considered a figure who is seriously influenced by the main pro-government oligarch Kolomoisky (there is a persistent rumor in the Rada: the Dnipropetrovsk governor agreed with Poroshenko that the prime minister will remain the same under him; there are unverified rumors about a similar agreement with Tymoshenko).
However, the prime minister still has a fairly large freedom of action: there are enough areas not related to Kolomoisky's interests in which Yatsenyuk makes decisions without his influence.
During the 2009 presidential campaign, information was circulating that Arseniy Yatsenyuk's main sponsor was Viktor Pinchuk. Many Internet publications attribute to him the hiring of Russian political technologists, the organization of the work of the headquarters, and even personal intervention in personnel matters.
With regard to direct financial support, the editors of Ukrayinska Pravda failed to obtain convincing information on this matter. People from the candidate's entourage talk about "sponsorship in the form of broadcasts." Ukrayinska Pravda's sources on TV channels controlled by Viktor Pinchuk also claim that the leadership has an unspoken order to support Arseniy Yatsenyuk.
Judging by the information of Ukrainska Pravda, Leonid Yurushev beat Arseniy Yatsenyuk as the only systemic investor. Apparently, the history of their relationship has banking roots - both Yurushev and Yatsenyuk worked for a long time among bankers and met there.
According to the deputy chairman of the Strong Ukraine party Oleksandra Kuzhel, people's deputy and billionaire Rinat Akhmetov bought Arseniy Yatsenyuk's Front of Changes project.
Election 2015
It is known that Arseniy Yatsenyuk also hired American PR specialists to prepare for the presidential campaign.
It is significant that at the Yalta YES-2013 meeting, the current US Ambassador to Ukraine Geoffrey Pyatt, representing Arseniy Yatsenyuk Hillary Clinton, described him as "the next president of Ukraine."
Arseniy Yatsenyuk's new political and image mentor will be an American specialist who, in particular, developed the campaign of Barack Obama. This is Joe Goldberg, Managing Director of ASGK Public Strategies, BA in Political Science, Communications and Theater Arts, a graduate of the University of Iowa.
Before the American, an employee of the National Democratic Institute for International Affairs (NDI), Serb Marko Ivkovic, who developed the opposition's election campaign strategy in 2012, managed to work with Arseniy Yatsenyuk.
