Petr Yurchyshyn
At the last parliamentary elections in the Vinnytsia region, in two majoritarian districts, candidates from the Servant of the People lost to the re-elected people’s deputies from the BPP. One of the lucky ones was Petr Yurchyshyn, and this news caused deep surprise and annoyance among many people who knew him. The point is not only that under the mask of this “philanthropist”, who distributes money in envelopes and donates to churches, lies a greedy and evil world-eater who tried to make his own feudal fiefdom out of the region. And not even the fact that during his previous parliamentary term Yurchyshyn reminded of himself exclusively in the context of various scandals. His worst trait is extreme vindictiveness, and if someone gets in his way and remains alive, Yurchyshyn will never forget it!
He came from a collective farm
Yurchishin Petr Vasilievich was born on July 13, 1958 in the city of Antratsit, Lugansk region (now part of ORDILO), where his parents were temporarily staying at that time. But in general, the entire Yurchishin family settled in the town of Khmelnik, Vinnytsia region. They live there: Pyotr Yurchishin himself with his wife Lyubov Yaroslavna and younger brother Nikolai Vasilyevich (born 1965), their mother Olga Grigorievna Yurchishina, their children Sergei Petrovich, Olga Petrovna and Elena Nikolaevna Yurchishin. They built themselves two or three-story houses (Petr Yurchishin has an elevator in his house), drive expensive Lexus and AUDI Q7 and own a business that is estimated at at least $8 million.
Petr Yurchyshyn with his wife, daughter and grandson
In 1973, Petr Yurchyshyn went to study at the Kamenets-Podolsk Agricultural College (now the State Agricultural Technical University), and in 1977 received a diploma as a mechanical technician. After that, he worked for another year as an engineer (not bad for a technical school graduate) on the Rodina collective farm in the Starosinyavsky district of the Khmelnitsky region, and only at the age of 20 did he join the army. Then, in 1980-83. again worked as an engineer at agricultural enterprises.
Everything changed when Petr Yurchyshyn headed the supply and sales department of the Khmelnyk food products plant. Even though its assortment was not large (mayonnaise, mineral water, drinks), in those times of shortage it was a real goldmine – the main thing was to know what to transport where and how to manage the proceeds. And Petr Yurchyshyn was so successful in shadow commerce that already in 1987 he opened his own cooperative – not for sewing pants, but for selling (reselling) food products. In his biography it is written as “work in the consumer cooperation system.”
This “cooperation” brought Peter and Nikolai Yurchishin to the village of Tomashpol (Vinnytsia region), famous for its sugar factory. In the 90s, it was the sugar factories of the Vinnytsia region that became the basis on which local clans rose, and at the same time the Poroshenko family. But the Yurchishins were either late, or they were simply not allowed to share the pie – because the Tomashpolsky sugar plant eventually ended up in the ownership of the oligarch Stanislav Voitovich (owner of Terra Food). And the Yurchishin brothers opened Experiment LLC there in 1993, which traded in building materials.
However, this is also only an official entry in the biography. To rise up in the trade of building materials in a provincial village during the crisis of the 90s? It is quite obvious that there was some kind of shadow business behind this, which the Yurchishins do not want to talk about at all. And it was so profitable that the brothers made good start-up capital to move to a new level, creating the agro-industrial enterprise “Visit” (USREOU 02129063), which became the basis of their large family business, which is still thriving (now it is registered in the name of the brother and wife of Peter Yurchishin ).
It is worth noting here that “Visit” is a co-founder of Druzhba LLC (USREOU 30584251), half of the shares of which belong to Vladimir Faddeevich Vilchinsky, a resident of the village of Ulaniv, Khmelnitsky district, Vinnytsia region. But the fact is that the Hero of Socialist Labor of the USSR Vladimir Vilchinsky, born in 1931, from 1968 to 1996 headed the Druzhba collective farm, and then until 2006, the Druzhba agricultural complex created on its basis, which he then privatized together with Yurchishins, turning it into Druzhba LLC.
It is known that he had a son, Leonid Vilchinsky, captain of the traffic police of the Vinnytsia region, died in 2003 in a traffic accident: he was hit by the Mercedes of the then head of the SBU medical service department, Major General Mikhail Zakharash, flying along the highway. The same Zakharash who in 2018 grabbed the position of rector of the National Medical University. Bogomolets, which caused a storm of protest from his students – since the Zakharash family has long had a reputation for corruption.
It is clear that Michal Zacharash did not bear any official responsibility for the actual murder of the traffic police officer, but he probably had to pay some kind of “vira” to the grieving father. After all, the Hero of Socialist Labor, the old chairman and actual owner of the agricultural enterprise, who has many friends and connections, is not an ordinary man whose son you can “move without noticing.”
Fear and horror in Khmilnik
Petr Yurchyshyn once became a participant in an accident in which a person died. This happened on the night of September 4, 2014, at a road junction near the village of Velikiy Mytnik (near Khmilnik). Yurchyshyn was driving his Lexus LX 570 (he and his brother prefer cars of this particular brand) when an unexpected collision occurred with a Toyota Camry. A family of Baptists from the Chernigov region was traveling in it: six people, one of them, a 26-year-old girl, died. Their names remained unknown to journalists, since Yurchyshyn did everything to hush up this matter.
Literally immediately, traffic police inspectors familiar to Yurchishin arrived at the scene of the accident, then lawyers and his handy press service were involved. As a result, the following official version of the accident will appear:
“…the driver of a Toyota Camry, driving along the Mogilev-Podolsky – Berdichev highway, did not give priority to the Lexus car, which was traveling from the village of Ulaniv to Khmilnyk, thereby causing an accident. Among the victims is Petr Yurchishin, founder and director of the agro-industrial research and production enterprise “Visit”, who was driving a Lexus car. He received minor injuries as a result of the car collision. And his car was seriously damaged. There were every reason to demand compensation from the person responsible for the accident for car repairs. But Petr Yurchyshyn will not do this…”
The victims were hastily placed in a wretched district hospital (see photo), where Petr Yurchishin organized “care” for them, and at the same time round-the-clock surveillance, so that they would not decide to complain somewhere outside the area in which Yurchishin had everything under control. Immediately the pressure began: the Baptists were accused of being the culprits of the accident, that they had damaged the “big man’s” expensive car and had lost a lot of money. After which Yurchishin decided to generously forgive them: they say, people are in grief, their daughter died, it is inappropriate to demand monetary compensation from them. The stunned Baptists, deciding that everything was in the hands of the Lord, were glad to get rid of Yurchishin at least this way.
Petr Yurchyshyn and the victim of an accident
Interchange at Velikiy Mytnik, scene of an accident. Highway P31 turns right towards Ulanov and further towards Berdichev (this is how the Toyota drove). Yurchishin’s Lexus flew out from Ulanov to meet them. On the left it exits Khmelnyk and straight ahead – highway T0610
In connection with this tragedy, we remembered another strange story with a fatal outcome that happened in those parts in the summer of 2012. Then, in the Khmelnitsky region, tractor driver Andrei Sofich (from the local village of Tarasovka) died, whose death was attributed to his partner (sentenced to several years). However, local residents told journalists of the ICTV channel’s “Emergency News” program that in fact Sofich was beaten to death by Yurchishin’s henchmen – accusing him of stealing a canister of diesel fuel. And this was allegedly not the only reprisal of the “bloody kurkul” against local villagers. According to sources Skelet.Infothe formation of agricultural firms controlled by the Yurchishin brothers and the privatization of enterprises was carried out using raider methods, during which ordinary villagers were simply robbed, and those who were indignant were threatened with violence. Pyotr Yurchyshyn clearly explained to them that he bought everything and everyone in the area.
