As you know, the nationality of the Jews is determined by the mother. Why? It's all about how it defines Halacha - traditional Jewish law, in the form of a set of laws and regulations of Judaism, regulating the religious, family and social life of believing (!) Jews. In a narrower sense, Halakha is a set of laws contained in the Talmud.

As we see, it is necessary to distinguish between Jews "by blood" and Jews "by spirit". Arseniy Petrovich Yatsenyuk is afraid not so much to recognize his Jewishness in ethnic terms, but rather carefully hides his Judaic worldview and the moral guidelines associated with it, which his ancestor, the famous Rabbi Bakai, so unequivocally and so easily understood even for non-Jews, stated.

Below are quotes from Yatsenyuk's progenitor (with links to sources), who frankly explains to the Jews how they should live, how to act towards the "gentiles" (non-Jews) and how to be guided by this. We deliberately cite Bakai's mentoring excerpts without comment. Just get a grasp of Yatsenyuk's spiritual heritage, which is the same for him as the Bible is for any Christian:

“In order to better deceive the goyim, a Jew can even visit their sick, bury their dead, do good to their poor, but all this must be done in order to have peace, and so that the wicked do no harm to the Jews.” (Traite gittin, folio 61, a)

“Just as one can kill a wild beast with a clear conscience and take possession of its forest, one can also kill or drive out a goy and take possession of his property. The property of a non-Jew is like an abandoned thing, its real owner is a Jew, who will be the first to seize it. (Baba Bathra, folio 54, b; Choschen Michpot, 156, 1)

“So, if a goy steals even less than half a penny, then he is also subject to death for this.” (Traite Jebammot, folio 47, b)

“A Jew is allowed to seize, at will, the property of a goy, for where it is written: “do no harm to your neighbor,” it does not say: “do not harm a goy.” (Traite Sanhedrin, folio 57, a)

“If a bull belonging to a Jew hits a bull of a goy, then the Jew is not responsible for this, and if the bull of a goy harms the bull of a Jew, the goy must pay the Jew the entire loss, for God divided the land and gave the goyim to Israel.” (Traite Baba Kamma, folio 37, b)

“God ordered to give money to the goyim in loans, but to give them only for interest; therefore, instead of helping them, we should do them harm, even if this person can be useful to us, while with regard to the Jew, we should not act in this way. (Maimonide, Sepher Mizv., folio 73, 4)

"Them<гоев>life, O Jew, is in your hands, especially their money. (Explic. du Pentat., folio 213, 4)

Frost on the skin from the fact that "with a clear conscience, you can kill a goy."

In this regard, as noted Vlasti.net , Ratushnyak's fears for the life of the "injured" apologist Yatsenyuk from Uzhgorod turn out to be quite reasonable.

Further in the text: “Well, organized by Arseniy Petrovich, attacks on their own agitators throughout the country are a mere trifle. Indeed, at the same time, Yatsenyuk does not harm his neighbor, but uses the goyim as slaughtered animals "in order to have peace, and so that the wicked do no harm to the Jews."

And in order not to get dirty from the "wicked", real Jews should marry only real daughters of Israel. And in this respect, Yatsenyuk's choice is simply flawless. How the press dubbed the wife of Arseniy Petrovich - Teresia Gur "the Hasidic princess", since she, to match her husband, also represents ancient Jewish family.

P.S. "fr Az but" is ready to give the opportunity to express their own point of view to all persons mentioned in this publication.

Jews: Yatsenyuk is our President!

An ambiguous statement appeared on the network.

Edition "Phrase" announces that the publication "4post" published the Appeal of the Jewish community to the leader of the "Front for Change", MP Arseniy Yatsenyuk.

Appeal of the Jewish community to Arseniy Petrovich Yatsenyuk

All Jews are ready to support you, Arseniy Petrovich, as a future candidate for the President of Ukraine, as a pillar of our faith in a peaceful Ukraine. You should not shy away from being Jewish and finally officially declare that you are a Jew and proud of it.

We, representatives of the Jewish community of Ukraine, sincerely support the initiative of Arseniy Petrovich Yatsenyuk to run for the upcoming presidential elections in Ukraine.

Our nation has gone through difficult trials, we are proud of many fellow tribesmen, whose names are known to the whole world.

As we know, you belong to the famous Jewish family Bakai, which is officially recognized by Israel. Indeed, according to the pedigree, in the case of mixed marriages, only one whose mother is Jewish is considered a Jew. Your mother - Maria Grigorievna Bakai (nee) belongs to the most ancient Jewish family of Bakai. Your deeply respected ancestor among all Jews - Rabbi Bakai - is the most famous writer of the Talmud, a multi-volume code of legal, religious and ethical provisions of Judaism.

In addition, your wife Teresia also belongs to our nation and comes from the ancient Jewish family of Gur.

It is well known that the Jews were repeatedly subjected to persecution and humiliation. Cruel confirmation - millions of victims and tragedies. That time left a deep, unhealed wound in our memory. However, today is a different time, and we can openly, without fear, say: "Yes, we are Jews." Therefore, we urge you to move away from negative stereotypes and look at the historical values ​​of our nation. For many years propaganda tried to discredit the Jewish nation. You, Arseniy Petrovich, are a politician of the new time, of the new generation. You should not be ashamed or hide your nationality. Today the Jewish people have national independence.

One of the largest Jewish communities is located in Ukraine. We support each other. We are grateful to you for expressing words of support and promises of protection to us, and we hope that in the future we will see that in Ukraine any prerequisites for the emergence of anti-Semitic manifestations and anti-Semite phobia will be eliminated.

All Jews are ready to support you, Arseniy Petrovich, as a future candidate for the President of Ukraine, as a pillar of our faith in a peaceful Ukraine. You should not shy away from being Jewish and finally officially declare that you are a Jew and proud of it.

From the publication "Nash Vek": we are looking forward to the comment of Arseniy Yatsenyuk himself.

Mother - Yatsenyuk Maria Grigorievna (born 1943), teacher of French.

Sister - Jones (Yatsenyuk) Alina Petrovna (born 1967), manager (Santa Barbara, USA).

According to the recollections of relatives, Arseniy Yatsenyuk was serious beyond his years as a child: he did not play football, he was rarely seen idly spending time in the yard. He studied at the Chernivtsi specialized English-speaking school No. 9 named after Panas Mirny. His favorite subjects were history, jurisprudence, literature, and English. School director Ivan Soltysik says that Arseniy could have entered into a discussion with the teacher, since his erudition was beyond the scope of the school curriculum. Yatsenyuk graduated from school with a silver medal (1991). To continue his education, he chose the Faculty of Law (specialty "jurisprudence") Chernivtsi National University named after Yuriy Fedkovych (1991-1996). I wanted to write and defend my diploma in English, but this was refused. At the university, Yatsenyuk completed a military training course, received an officer rank and was transferred to the reserve.

Later, Yatsenyuk received a second higher education at the Chernivtsi Trade and Economic Institute of the Kiev Trade and Economic University with a degree in Accounting and Audit (2001).

After graduating from the Ukrainian Academy of Banking, he defended his Ph.D. thesis on "Organization of the system of banking supervision and regulation in Ukraine".

Business and political career of Arseniy Yatsenyuk

Yatsenyuk himself does not hesitate to admit that in the early 1990s he and his friends traded cars on the market. And when he began to study at the Faculty of Law of the Chernivtsi University, together with fellow students, he founded the law firm YUREK-Ltd in Chernivtsi and became its president (1992). His business partner was the son of Governor Ivan Gnatyshyn. This was the first time in Ukraine that students received a license from the Ministry of Justice to provide legal services. As Yatsenyuk himself says, organizational assistance in the creation of the company was provided by the head of the Department of Financial Law of Kiev University, Lydia Konstantinovna Voronova. One of the clients of this firm was the Chernivtsi businessman Mikhail Papiev (later Deputy Governor of Chernivtsi; Minister of Labor and Social Policy in 2002-2005 and 2006-2007). A regular client of the firm was the company "Nadina", which was headed by the local oil tycoon Valery Chinush. Now Chinush is a deputy of the Chernivtsi city council, in the presidential elections he headed the election headquarters of Viktor Yushchenko in Chernivtsi, was the head of the city organization "People's Union "Our Ukraine" (NSNU), is the leader of the Our Ukraine faction in the city council of Chernivtsi. Valeriy Chinush helped a young legal companies to find an office: in the hotel "Bukovyna" Yatsenyuk equipped room 329 for a personal office.

Soon he met Fyodor Shpig, Chairman of the Board of the Kiev Joint-Stock Postal-Pension Bank "Aval" and was invited to the position of consultant of the credit department (1998). After some time, he was promoted to adviser to the chairman of the board of the bank, then he became deputy chairman of the board.

In September 2001, Yatsenyuk received the position of Acting Minister of Economy of the Council of Ministers of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea in the government of Valery Gorbatov, and later, by decision of the Crimean Parliament, he became the Minister of Economy of the Republic. When the newly elected Verkhovna Rada of Crimea (2002) began work, Yatsenyuk, together with the government of Valery Gorbatov, resigned. But Sergei Kunitsyn, who headed the new government, left the place of the Minister of Economy of the Republic for Yatsenyuk.

Since January 2003, he has been First Deputy Chairman of the National Bank of Ukraine (NBU) Serhiy Tigipko. Yatseniuk served as acting head of the NBU when Tigipko became head of the campaign headquarters of Ukrainian presidential candidate Viktor Yanukovych (2004). Then Yatsenyuk issued an unprecedented NBU resolution No. 576/2004 "On temporary measures regarding the activities of banks", that is, a temporary ban on early withdrawal of bank deposits, which at the time of the political confrontation, according to expert estimates, saved the national currency from collapse.

In February 2005, at the initiative of the new head of the NBU, Volodymyr Stelmakh, Yatsenyuk resigned. He moved to work in Odessa - the chairman of the Odessa Regional State Administration Vasily Tsushko appointed Arseniy Yatsenyuk as his first deputy (2005).

After the appointment of Prime Minister Yuriy Yekhanurov, Yatsenyuk received the post of Minister of Economy of Ukraine (September 2005), and soon by one decree of the President of Ukraine he was appointed Deputy Chairman of the Presidential Secretariat (SP), by another - a member of the Supervisory Board of the NBU. He was also included in the Supervisory Boards of State Savings Bank of Ukraine OJSC (Oshchadbank) and State Export-Import Bank of Ukraine OJSC (Ukreximbank) (until March 2007).

Later, by a presidential decree, Yatsenyuk was charged with the responsibility of constantly monitoring compliance with the constitutional rights of citizens and legislation in operational-search activities and activities in the field of protecting state secrets of the bodies and divisions of the SBU, as well as monitoring the compliance of the provisions issued by the service, orders, instructions, instructions and instructions to the Constitution and laws of Ukraine (2006).

By order of the President of Ukraine, he was appointed head of the working group on the creation of the Baltic-Black Sea-Caspian Development Bank (2006).

Yatsenyuk became a member of the People's Union "Our Ukraine" party (2006).

After the resignation of the government in 2006 due to the parliamentary crisis, Yatsenyuk remained in the position of minister. During this period, he led negotiations on Ukraine's accession to the World Trade Organization, headed the Ukraine-European Union Committee, and was a member of the Advisory Council on Foreign Investments in Ukraine.

On September 20, 2006, President of Ukraine Viktor Yushchenko appointed Arseniy Yatsenyuk First Deputy Head of the Secretariat of the President of Ukraine - Representative of the President of Ukraine in the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine. Then Yatsenyuk was dismissed along with the entire Cabinet of Ministers.

March 21, 2007 was approved as Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine. His candidacy was proposed by the President of Ukraine Viktor Yushchenko after the Parliament twice rejected the candidacy of Volodymyr Ohryzko for this post. In his work, Yatsenyuk emphasized the priority of the economy in the country's foreign policy, which, according to him, should become realistic, pragmatic and predictable.

He stated that the main course of the country is European integration and access to European markets, and also stressed the importance of cooperation with Russia. Negotiations with the US government on Ukraine's accession to the WTO, thanks to the intervention and persistent work of Yatsenyuk, became successful - a package of important issues was adopted.

In the summer of 2007, the Our Ukraine-People's Self-Defense party bloc nominated Arseniy Yatsenyuk as a candidate for the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine.

In December 2007, by a majority of votes, the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine (227 people's deputies) elected Arseniy Yatsenyuk as speaker. In connection with this election, the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine dismissed him from the post of Minister of Foreign Affairs, and the President of Ukraine removed him from the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine (NSDC) by his decree. And although the position of the head of parliament, unlike the head of the Foreign Ministry, should not be a member of the Verkhovna Rada, on the same day Yatsenyuk was again introduced to the NSDC.

September 17, 2008 Arseniy Yatsenyuk resigned due to the collapse of the "orange" coalition.

In December 2008, he created the public initiative Front for Change. The program of the initiative states: preservation of democracy; overcoming the economic crisis; formation of a national idea; preservation and enhancement of national capital; the formation of a modern political nation; balancing the Ukrainian system of power; change of political elite; formation of a layer of professional state managers; modern education; freedom of religion; spiritual and physical health of Ukrainians; creation of the National Plan for Change. The program says that Ukraine should be a parliamentary-presidential republic.

Arseniy Yatsenyuk heads the Open Ukraine Foundation.

Official website of the "Open Ukraine" Foundation:

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 Arseniy 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, reforming 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 Yatseniuk 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 Arseniy 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 Alexei 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 Kiev, 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.

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.

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 the press service explained, the adopted decision is purely technical in nature, since the Law "On Elections of People's Deputies of Ukraine" does not provide for the formation of electoral blocs.

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.

Political career

On September 19, 2001, the Verkhovna Rada of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea approved his appointment as Acting Minister of Economy of Crimea in the government of Valery Gorbatov. On November 21 of the same year, by decision of the Crimean parliament, Yatsenyuk was approved as Minister of Economy.

On April 29, 2002, together with the entire government, he resigned, as the newly elected Verkhovna Rada of Crimea began to work. Already on May 15, he headed the Ministry of Economy for the second time, but he stayed in this position for less than a year.

In January 2003, Serhiy Tigipko, chairman of the National Bank of Ukraine, appointed Yatsenyuk as his first deputy. In 2004, Yatsenyuk received a PhD in economics, defending his thesis on "Organization of the system of banking supervision and regulation in Ukraine."

On November 30, 2004, acting head of the NBU, Yatsenyuk issued Decree No. 576/2004 on a temporary ban on early withdrawal of bank deposits, which prevented the possible negative consequences of political confrontation. Yevgeny Chervonenko noted in 2009 that Yatsenyuk "during the revolution kept the currency and the National Bank."

In February 2005, Yatsenyuk resigned.

On March 9, 2005, the chairman of the Odessa Regional State Administration, Vasily Tsushko, appointed Arseniy Yatsenyuk as his first deputy.

September 27, 2005 Yatsenyuk was appointed Minister of Economy in the government of Yuri Yekhanurov. While in this position, Yatsenyuk led negotiations on Ukraine's accession to the World Trade Organization.

On September 20, 2006, President of Ukraine Yushchenko appointed Yatsenyuk First Deputy Head of the Secretariat of the President of Ukraine - Representative of the President of Ukraine in the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine.

Since September 25, 2006, Yatsenyuk has been a member of the board of the National Bank of Ukraine, as well as a member of the supervisory boards of State Export-Import Bank of Ukraine OJSC and State Savings Bank of Ukraine OJSC.

March 21, 2007 Yatsenyuk was approved as Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine. After becoming Minister of Foreign Affairs, Yatsenyuk also became a member of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine.

On July 5, the Our Ukraine-People's Self-Defence (NU-NS) party bloc, which supported President Yushchenko, nominated Yatsenyuk as a candidate for the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine. Having become a deputy, in early December he was elected to the post of head of the Verkhovna Rada. 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 protests 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 candidates for 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 eastern 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 activity: 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.
