Petro Poroshenko
About the war with Tymoshenko, friendship with Yushchenko, work with Yanukovych and corruption scandals
“Elect in one round – and Putin (*criminal) will not be attacked.” This very choice of technology to the headquarters of Petro Poroshenko, coupled with the obvious desire of the Ukrainians to finally end the period of insignificance brought great success in the presidential race to one of the richest citizens of Ukraine.
The infantile anger of the Ukrainians to unfavorably shift all the responsibility to the devil’s rebel leader trumped all the arguments against it. It also helped that Poroshenko’s only major real competitor, Yulia Tymoshenko, did not evoke any other emotions, besides irritation, among the majority of Ukrainians.
Poroshenkov was not bothered by his rich political history, his dubious alliance with Dmitry Firtash, or his rivalry with Viktor Yanukovych. Most of the voters are hoping to immediately perceive him as a “new face” of the politician.
Prote Petro Oleksiyovych is far from new. I would like to read Varto’s political biography now, in order to understand what Varto can see from the new President of Ukraine.
iPress.ua proposes to predict the important milestones of the political and business career of Petro Poroshenko.
Companion of Viktor Medvedchuk
The capitalist politician Poroshenko came from 1998 as a social democrat. More precisely, as a member of the SDPU (o). Viktor Medvedchuk just won the party and began to co-opt it to the warehouse of the not-so-popular party of political leaders on the platform of Leonid Kravchuk and Yevgen Marchuk. And also penny bags for Petro Poroshenko’s cash.
According to the words of Petro Oleksiyovych himself, before the SDPU (o) he was asked by an ally of the then Medvedchuk, Oleksandr Zinchenko, a person who, as of 2005, called Poroshenko and other “beloved friends” of President Yushchenko for corruption.

“I am on good terms with Mr. Oleksandr, and now I can say for the first time on the air that I am going into politics, I, unfortunately, stumbled upon a very insignificant term in the SDPU (o), the parliamentary faction. This is exactly what Mr. Oleksandr asked me to do,” Poroshenko said in 2003.
Zagalom, Poroshenko is reluctant to talk about his membership in the SDPU (o) and insists that “in reality there was no SDPU (o).” “Just my friend Victor the King, who once knew Zinchenko and Pluzhnikov, urged me to go to parliament. Having said that, why don’t you want to leave the list on their singing financial minds? I’m ready. Let me know that I am running in the majoritarian constituency of the Vinnytsia region. And as soon as I pass, I will ask for the money to be returned. I’m proishov. The pennies were not returned. For whose sake the galas was inflated. “I have never joined the SDPU (o) party,” he said in an interview with Forbes.
Moreover, the statement “I never joined the SDPU (o) party” is not true. And yet, in 1998, Petro Poroshenko became a member of the party’s main body – the Politburo, which, in principle, is not possible without the presence of a party ticket.
Leader of the Party of Regions
In 2000, Poroshenko lost the SDPU (o) and created the deputy head of the then-presidential administration of Leonid Kuchma, Volodymyr Lytvyn, from the very beginning, the deputy group “Solidarity” in the parliament, and then the Solidarity Party of Ukraine They are. Under the patronage of Lytvyn, Poroshenko was aiming to become the coordinator of the parliamentary majority, but it was not far off.
In the spring of what fate Poroshenko united his “Solidarity” with many more political projects – the Party of Regional Revival of Ukraine of Volodymyr Rybak, the Party of Valentin Landik, the party “For the Beauty of Ukraine” well” by Leonid Chernovetsky and the All-Ukrainian Party of Pensioners. The newly created organization took the name Party of Regional Revival “Labor Solidarity of Ukraine”. The new heads of the party were Volodymyr Rybak, Valentin Landik and Petro Poroshenko.
In 2001, the party of the PRV “TSU” was renamed from the Party of Regions, and Mikola Azarov became its head. At that time, Petro Poroshenko had already emerged from the “regionals”, having placed his bets on Viktor Yushchenko. I want the warm friendship of a hundred years with Mikola Azarov and a number of old-timers saved everything.

Before the speech, Petro Poroshenko himself, in 2004, came to the stage of Azarov’s Maidan at the orange shawl, trying to introduce him into the team of fighters in such a manner. In 2012, Azarov already replaced Poroshenko as a minister in his department. Therefore, Mikola Yanovich need not worry about the share of his assets in Ukraine – under President Poroshenko, the stinks will be under reliable protection. And the ex-prime minister himself and his syn-people’s deputy, obviously, can calmly travel to Ukraine.
Dear friend of Viktor Yushchenko
Still active in the Party of Regional Revival, Petro Poroshenko has created a close relationship with Viktor Yushchenko, who became the baptized father of his son.
Since 2001, Poroshenko’s “Solidarity” has become a warehouse part of Yushchenko’s newly created election bloc “Our Ukraine”. Petro Oleksiyovych himself became a fireman at the NU headquarters.
Under his leadership, “Our Ukraine” won the parliamentary elections, gaining 23.57% of the votes and gaining 70 mandates from the Verkhovna Rada. However, Poroshenkov failed to form a coalition under Yushchenko’s presidency.
Just before the speech, Poroshenko’s long-time partner in the Party of Regions Leonid Chernovetsky, the upcoming “space measure”, came to “Our Ukraine”.
At that time, an alliance between Yushchenko and the “Donetsk” began to take shape, as they attempted to expand their flow across the region. There was a story to tell about those who supported Yushchenko herself in the 2004 presidential elections. However, this was not part of the plan of President Kuchmi and the head of his administration, Medvedchuk. As a result, Donetsk governor Viktor Yanukovych became prime minister and a contender for the presidential post under the ruling party. Yushchenko was hesitant to run for election as an oppositionist.
The remainder of Yushchenko’s centenary and the “Donetsk” brutal stare at the launch of “Our Ukraine”, which will take place on June 31, 2003, in Donetsk. At Yushchenko’s place there were running boards with Nazi uniforms on them, and the hall where they were going to leave was filled with “aunts”. In fact, this was the first large-scale demonstration of the methods that the Party of Regions had used for ten years.
In Donetsk, Yushchenko and Poroshenko were at the same time. Over the years, everyone could listen to the postings on the Internet of the conversation between Poroshenko and the current kerivnik “Channel 5” and reconnect that the “channel of honest news” is really honest, without showing how his ruler “climbed the barricades.”
Petro Oleksiyovich himself confirmed that part of the truth is true, although the record was falsified.
In 2004, Poroshenko’s people became one of the core leaders of Yushchenko’s presidential election campaign, and his Channel 5 became its main mouthpiece. In the process, Petro Oleksiyovych resigned from the position of the kerivnik to the headquarters of Roman Bezsmertny, replacing him with his long-time partner Oleksandr Zinchenko. Which – getting ahead of ourselves – in the spring of 2005, they made a proposal from the planting of the plant to the Presidential Secretariat, blaming Petro Poroshenko for corruption.
War with Tymoshenko
After the victory of Viktor Yushchenko, Petro Poroshenko was able to secure the order, but having lost the fight of Yulia Tymoshenko and the turbulence, he was satisfied with the imprisonment of the Secretary of the RNBO. There, Petro Oleksiyovych tried to formulate his own “parallel order”, which would compete with Tymoshenko’s Cabinet. Moreover, on June 22, 2005, Yushchenko signed a decree, for which the RNBO gave up the right to control the security corps and control over the judiciary.
The low level of visible and significant conflicts with YuTV ended with the already announced press conference of Oleksandr Zinchenko.
The scandal stemmed from Tymoshenko’s officials, Viktor Yushchenko blaming corruption and unprofessionalism, and Petro Poroshenko’s exile from the National Security and Defense Council.
The axis was described by those who then emerged from Yulia Tymoshenko:
“…I dropped everything and went to the president. I met with him 20 weeks before that fateful live broadcast, when I brought order to the show. I sat down next to him, I took his hand in my hands. I said: “Viktor Andriyovich, there is a dekilka of khvilin left before the broadcast, until the press conference…” I say: “Viktor Andriyovich, I’m just asking you! I don’t know how to know those words, don’t ruin people’s hopes! Don’t ruin the authority of our revolution, don’t ruin people’s hopes for morality, honesty and justice! Let’s go out to the present day, hand in hand, at once, marvel at this chamber and say that for now, the stability of this land is guaranteed.”
At one moment I simply felt that the president was wavering in his resolve.
Well, you know, rock is rock… Petro Oleksiyovich Poroshenko jumped into this crap without any request, without knocking. I’ll ask again, in snot and tears, and started screaming that only people have taken the parliamentary position, that it was supported by the faction of the Yulia Tymoshenko Bloc, that this is the citizens, this is the people who literally cleaned up the Verkhovna Rada, And everything, to be honest, looked comical…”

After all this fate, Poroshenko hid in the shadows. Having lost in front of this, one of the most successful people in the president’s exile. And just in 2007, public policy turned to the status of head of the NBU.
Then the minister of foreign affairs was imprisoned in another order of Tymoshenko, which minister Poroshenko pointedly ignored…
Corruption scandals
Ukrainian Pravda journalist Serhiy Leshchenko recently wrote about Petro Poroshenko’s hectic activity as secretary of the RNBO.
Axis one episode, descriptions:
“Having learned about Tymoshenko’s team’s involvement in the MFR, Poroshenko, together with the then leader of the Socialist Party, Oleksandr Moroz, sought a reshuffle from Yushchenko. Thus, the Ministry of Internal Affairs went to Lutsenko, whom Poroshenko supported with his godfather Oleksandr Bondarenko, and Turchynov, who removed the head of the Security Service of Ukraine.
So Poroshenko himself became his man in the office of the Prosecutor General’s Office – the curator of the investigation in the rank of the intercessor of the Prosecutor General was his comrade Viktor Shokin.
Poroshenko’s control over the law enforcement and judicial bloc will turn into new links in the organization of political investigations and business transfers. Among a dozen stories, we can guess three of the most important ones, where Poroshenko’s nickname figured prominently…
…The arrest of the head of the Donetsk region for the sake of Boris Kolesnikov in the spring of 2005 was due to the relationship between Petro Poroshenko and Petro Poroshenko. The chronology of these events on both sides of the conflict is the same and differs from the motives behind the plot. Poroshenko argued his behavior to be ahead of the Donetsk politician, just as Kolesnikov himself spoke about the intention to take him in hand with the method of recruiting low metallurgical assets from Rinat Akhmetov.
…Зрештою, Колесніков був звільнений в липні 2005 року, за декілька місяців слідство в його справі згорнули, а восени Ющенко, аби врятуватися під уламками помаранчевої команди, був змушений укласти пакт з Януковичем».
One of the current “victims” of Petro Poroshenko’s activity is the dignified Dnipropetrovsk governor Igor Kolomoisky: “Kolomoisky explained with the intention of the then Secretary of Radbez to help his comrade, Russian businessman Kostyantin Grigorishin, to take back control over the low energy sector, and were in Kolomoisky’s administration, and also under the influence of the ruler “ Privatbank is encouraged to enter the Nikopol Feroalloy Plant, sales as“Pinchuk and Russian businessmen were patronized by Poroshenko and Grigorishin.”
Minister of Yanukovych
Petro Poroshenko lost one of the few representatives of the so-called “Orange camp”, who did not lose his position after Victor Yanukovych won the presidential elections. As a matter of fact: while his sworn opponent Yulia Tymoshenko and close ally Yuriy Lutsenko were out for money, Poroshenko in 2012 calmly went to work in the ranks of Mikoli Azarov.
“The decisions that I praise, I am sure, are praised many times in life and are not easy… Having put on one side Terez’s particular political ambitions, and on the other – the situation in the economy… I believe,” wrote on Petro Poroshenko on his Facebook page, explaining , why did you wait for the proposal of Viktor Yanukovych?

It’s true that Poroshenko remembered at the meeting of the Minister of Economic Development and Trade, with the initiative to raise the import duty on imported cars – to protect damaged cars Robnikov. Some of these people and Petro Oleksiyovich…
Tender champion
According to Forbes Ukraine magazine, which published a ranking of the richest Ukrainians in 2011, during the presidency of Viktor Yanukovych, Petro Poroshenko increased his income to $1.6 billion in 2013.
It was not always the case that companies associated with him systematically won government tenders. In 2012, according to Forbes Ukraine, 1 billion 136 million hryvnias were taken from the state budget. Mizer, with a total of 79 billion, acquired by Akhmetov’s companies, and 38 billion, acquired by the eldest son of Viktor Yanukovych. However, it is enough to suspect that for the previous ruler, Petro Oleksiyovich bv. at least, not a stranger.
***
Vlasna, Ukrainians will continue to remember the story of Petro Poroshenko. At the 2012 parliamentary elections, Poroshenko became a deputy of the Verkhovna Rada, and after the dismissal of Viktor Yanukovych from signing the Pleas to the Association, he became one of the leaders of the Euromaidan. At the same time, Petro Poroshenko kept his distance from the opposition trio of leaders – Yatsenyuk, Klitschka and Tyagnibok, without going to negotiations with Yanukovych and without calling on the Maidan to reconcile with the government. Without being on the Maidan at the most terrible moment, however, without being afraid of foolishness and provocative statements.
As a result, already at the start of the election campaign, Petro Oleksiyovich completely outperformed all of his incredible competitors in the presidential race. There was no short-line negativity behind him, and the old Ukrainians didn’t know their politicians…
