Royal Natalia Yurievna- People's Deputy of Ukraine. A. Turchinov called N. Korolevskaya "an unsuccessful project of opponents."

To information

The "godfather" of Alexander Valentinovich Turchinov as a politician is the former prime minister Pavel Lazarenko. True, for unknown reasons, Turchinov himself denies this, as his longtime colleague denies the obvious. Yulia Timoshenko. But if there is still logic in denial on the part of Yulia Vladimirovna (perhaps she fears that this format of relations, given the whole range of their ties with Lazarenko, will definitely look like incest), then denial on the part of Alexander Valentinovich has no logic at all. It is unlikely that the format of their relationship with Lazarenko was as complex as in the case of Lazarenko and Tymoshenko, although, as they say, anything can happen.

In 2003, Turchynov first gained all-Ukrainian fame when the Prosecutor General's Office applied to the Verkhovna Rada with a request to give consent to bring him to trial. criminal liability along with another deputy from BYuT Stepan Khmara. They were charged with committing crimes under three articles of the Criminal Code at once: “Seizure of state or public buildings”, “Threat to law enforcement officers” and “Exceeding power or official authority with the use of weapons and insulting law enforcement officers,” as they entered the territory of the Lukyanovsky pre-trial detention center, where they insulted and beat the staff. Alexander Valentinovich indignantly rejected all accusations, calling the prosecutor's presentation a provocation. Parliament also denied the request of the then Attorney General Svyatoslav Piskun, without giving consent to bringing Turchinov and Khmara to criminal responsibility.

In the same 2003, the tax authorities detained one of Alexander Valentinovich's assistants near the office of the Batkivshchyna party. Ruslan Lukenchuk, who was charged with involvement in an illegal conversion center. At the same time, Prosecutor General Piskun stated that the detention of Turchynov's assistant was part of a planned process of measures to initiate a criminal case. It was, according to him, about hundreds of thousands of illegally converted dollars, which came to the office of the Batkivshchyna party. But the investigation dragged on, and after coming to the highest government post Viktor Yushchenko and completely disappeared. Indeed, under him, Alexander Valentinovich himself became a "punishing sword", heading a very serious institution, known by the abbreviation SBU.

With the advent of Turchynov to this post, the highly professional investigative group of the SBU, which was investigating the murder of a journalist, was disorganized. George Gongadze since 2002. Alexander Valentinovich also gave a strict instruction not to report operational data on the Gongadze case to the SBU investigation team. The very same investigation team, headed by the deputy chairman of the SBU Andrey Kozhemyakin actually thwarted a special operation to extradite a general from Israel Alexander Pukach.

In 2005, the SBU opened an operational-search case (ORD), which included tapping the journalist's phone Alexander Korchinsky. At the same time, the decision to open an operational-search activity was made personally by Turchinov, and the case itself was opened with blatant violations of all the rules, including the forgery of documents. In general, Alexander Valentinovich was distinguished as chairman of the SBU by extreme unscrupulousness and uncleanliness. It got to the point that he bugged the country's top leadership and seized documents with subsequent destruction, which spoke of Yulia Tymoshenko's connections with a criminal businessman Semyon Mogilevich. Therefore, it can be considered a miracle that Turchinov got away with all this.

Alexander Valentinovich considers himself a Baptist. In fact, the Faith Movement, to which he belongs, was founded by a notorious Nigerian Sundayem Adelaja and it has nothing to do with Protestantism, to which Baptism belongs. The Faith Movement has a special teaching, which, according to authoritative experts, cannot be called Christian. In fact, it represents the occult, which is only covered by Christianity.

Turchinov's penchant for the occult is also confirmed by the fact that he loves the number seven. He published his book "The Coming" with a circulation of 7,770 copies, and his car AudiQ7 (such a car in the minimum configuration costs at least 80 thousand dollars) has the number AA 7777 TO (Turchinov Oleksandr).

Political dossier

All-Ukrainian Council 2019

On January 22, 2019, the Ministry of Justice of Ukraine registered the public union "All-Ukrainian Cathedral", the coordinator of which was elected Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council (NSDC) Oleksandr Turchynov.

Reference: The spiritual council of the "Sobor" included the Chairman of the Council of Evangelical Protestant Churches of Ukraine, Senior Bishop of the Ukrainian Church of Evangelical Christians Mikhail Panochko, Chairman of the All-Ukrainian Union of Churches of Evangelical Christian Baptists Valeriy Antonyuk, Senior Bishop of the Union of Free Churches of Evangelical Christians of Ukraine Vasily Raychynets, chairman Spiritual Directorate of Evangelical Christians of the Ukrainian Christian Church "New Generation" Andriy Tishchenko, Bishop of the Cathedral of Independent Evangelical Churches of Ukraine Anatoly Kalyuzhny and other leaders of religious organizations.

Gromada and Batkivshchyna

* In 1994, A. Turchynov created the All-Ukrainian Association "Hromada". The name of this political force, for many, is primarily associated with the odious Prime Minister of the times of Kuchma - President Pavel Lazarenko, although he joined it and headed it only in 1997. And shortly before that, Yulia Tymoshenko appeared in Gromada - then one of the leaders of the United energy systems Ukraine, which supplied Russian natural gas. Since then, A. Turchynov and Lady Yu have been inseparable in politics.

• In 1998, he first became a people's deputy (later he received a mandate twice more: in 2002 and 2006). He entered the parliament on the Gromada list, although he was soon expelled from his own offspring - due to an intra-party split. In the Verkhovna Rada, he headed the Budget Committee. At the same time, he initiated a radical budget reform, the redistribution of public funds in favor of local government, the healthcare system, the educational and coal mining industries. Wrote a program de-shadowing the national economy.

• A new political project of A. Turchynov and Y. Tymoshenko was the All-Ukrainian Association "Batkivshchyna" (established in July 1999). The main post in it was taken by the "gas princess", who soon received the portfolio of Vice-premier for the fuel and energy complex in the government of Viktor Yushchenko.

• In the summer of 2000, Tymoshenko started having problems with the President and his entourage, in January 2001 she was dismissed, and then sent to a pre-trial detention center. Since then, A.Turchynov and Lady Yu with their "Batkivshchyna" have been in opposition (with the exception of 8 "post-Maidan" months). First - a tough confrontation with the regime of L. Kuchma (both in parliament as part of the Yulia Tymoshenko Bloc faction, and on the streets of Ukrainian cities). It was the period of the actions "Ukraine without Kuchma" and "Arise, Ukraine!", the creation of the National Salvation Forum and the Orange Revolution, which ensured Victor Yushchenko's victory in the presidential race, and A. Turchinova's contribution to which turned out to be quite significant.

• In the wake of the revolution, the first deputy leader of the "Batkivshchyna" and BYuT receives the post of head of the Security Service of Ukraine, and his comrade-in-arms Yulia Tymoshenko becomes Prime Minister. However, the period of stay in power did not last long. In September 2005, at the peak of the "intra-orange" conflict, V. Yushchenko dismissed the Tymoshenko government. The indignant head of the SBU himself submits a resignation letter, in which he notes that the decision of the head of state "threatens national security." So the fight against "Kuchmism" was followed by a confrontation with the team of V. Yushchenko, and at the same time with the Party of Regions, which led to the 2006 parliamentary elections. All this time, A. Turchynov was methodically criticizing both "our Ukrainians" and "regionals". He accused the former of betraying the ideals of the Maidan, the latter of trying to restore the regime that had been overthrown at the end of 2004.

• After the failed attempt to form a new "orange coalition" last summer following the results of the 2006 elections, it was the turn of the war with the anti-crisis coalition, interspersed with a showdown with the same "Our Ukraine" and V. Yushchenko. The permanent political crisis in June 2007 resulted in the early termination of the powers of the Verkhovna Rada of the 5th convocation. A. Turchynov, like most members of the BYuT and Our Ukraine factions (by this time the political forces had entered into another alliance), wrote a statement about the resignation of the deputy mandate. And on May 23, in the midst of a confrontation with the ruling coalition, V. Yushchenko appointed him First Deputy Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine.

• At the extraordinary parliamentary elections-2007, A. Turchynov was again given control of the BYuT election headquarters. As a result of the vote, the bloc received 156 seats out of 450 possible (27 more than in the previous campaign). After the creation of a coalition between the BYuT and the pro-presidential bloc "Our Ukraine - People's Self-Defense" and the approval of Yulia Tymoshenko as Prime Minister, Turchynov took the chair of the First Vice Prime Minister in the government.

• In the Timoshenko government, he oversaw such responsible areas in the work of the government as finance and the fuel and energy complex (in particular, solving gas problems and eliminating the intermediary company Gazprom and Dmitry Firtash RosUkrEnergo from the market). Often, due to ailments, the Prime Minister had to replace the boss at meetings of the Cabinet of Ministers and on visits to the President, as well as repel informational attacks by Bankova. Experts cite both the concern of the head of state with the growth of the Prime Minister's rating and the personal conflict between the head of the presidential office, Viktor Baloga, and Yulia Tymoshenko and her team, as the reason for them.

• After the decision of the Verkhovna Rada on the re-election of the mayor of the capital and deputies of the Kyiv City Council, Turchynov's associates started talking about as a possible candidate for the post of the capital's mayor from BYuT. At the same time, the potential candidate himself said that he did not want to be the mayor of Kyiv, but if the party says "We must!", then he will run. The party still said "We must!". As a result, he took second place, skipping ahead of the current mayor Leonid Chernovetsky.

• After Viktor Yanukovych became President in 2010 as a result of regular elections, Yu. Tymoshenko's government was dismissed and A. Turchynov left his post.

Case of Mogilevich

On July 27, 2005, Oleksandr Turchinov announced that he had circumstantial evidence that the RosUkrEnergo company, Gazprom's intermediary in transporting Turkmen gas through Russia, was indirectly controlled by Semyon Mogilevich, an economist from Kiev, who has been associated with Russian organized crime groups since the early 1970s. , who emigrated to Israel in 1990 and then moved to Hungary and has citizenship of Russia, Ukraine, Israel and Hungary. Mogilevich is wanted by the FBI for alleged involvement in stock fraud, racketeering, fraud and money laundering, financing the transport of weapons and drugs. Gazprom and Raiffeisen Investment claimed that Mogilevich had nothing to do with RUE.

After that, a conflict arose with President Yushchenko. Turchynov resigned, in December 2010 he once again recalled her reasons.

It was necessary for Viktor Yushchenko to fulfill his promise “Bandits should be in prison!” And I can say, as the former head of the SBU, that we really began to investigate serious cases that relate to corruption in the highest echelons of power. In particular, the well-known gas business, the issue of RosUkrEnergo. It was we who then opened a criminal case regarding serious abuses of both officials and those who simply used the opportunity provided by officials in order to withdraw billions from the Ukrainian economy. And as soon as we approached those who should answer, unfortunately, then I had a conflict with Viktor Yushchenko, who already began to like Mr. Firtash, as Mr. Kuchma liked him before, and now Yanukovych likes him. And that is why my resignation from the post of head of the SBU took place. And that is why the resignation of Yulia Tymoshenko's government in 2005 actually took place,” the politician noted.

Wikileaks:

Wikileaks publications say that former Interior Minister Yuriy Lutsenko received an order to arrest Tymoshenko's associates Oleksandr Turchynov and Andrei Kozhemyakin for trying to hide Tymoshenko's ties to criminal businessman Semyon Mogilevich.

Five of the world's leading publications - The New York Times (USA), Le Monde (France), El Pais (Spain), Spiegel (Germany) and The Guardian (UK) - have posted publications on their websites based on materials provided to them by Wikileaks .

One of the documents reports a conversation between former Interior Minister Yuriy Lutsenko and the US Ambassador to Ukraine.

“In particular, the “orange” interior minister Yuriy Lutsenko, flaunting, told the US ambassador to Ukraine that he had received an order from the prosecutor general to arrest Tymoshenko’s associates Oleksandr Turchynov and Andriy Kozhemyakin for destroying documents of the SBU, which spoke of Tymoshenko’s connection with the criminal businessman Semyon Mogilevich. Lutsenko called the order of the Prosecutor General Medvedko crazy and, of course, did not comply with it, ”the publication says.

wiretapping

Having assumed the post of chairman of the Security Service of Ukraine, Turchynov took up "wiretapping",

In 2006, on the eve of the parliamentary elections, the head of the BYuT campaign headquarters, Turchynov, was accused of "wiretapping" when he was chairman of the SBU. The Prosecutor General's Office even opened a criminal case on the fact of wiretapping of senior officials. He took the case as a political provocation: “You know, the Security Service does carry out certain operational and technical measures. But I can assure you that during my leadership of the Security Service, all these activities were carried out within the limits of the law and the Constitution. And what is happening today , this is a poorly rehearsed performance, which actually has the name “Pre-election campaign”, typical” (“1 + 1”, March 11, 2006).. The case did not receive further development.

Case for calling for a coup d'état

On April 1, 2014, the criminal proceedings against A. Turchynov, O. Tyagnibok, N. Katerynchuk, O. Lyashko and Y. Lutsenko for calls aimed at seizing state power were closed. This was reported in the press service of the GPU.

Reference: On the Independence Square during the actions, there were more than once calls for a violent seizure of state power. In this regard, the investigators of the Security Service of Ukraine registered two proceedings on the fact that a group of persons committed illegal actions aimed at seizing state power in Ukraine under Article 109 of the Criminal Code," Pshonka said, without specifying whether there are suspects in these criminal proceedings. Pshonka also noted that radical groups were involved in provocations and offenses during the Euromaidan events.

In 1987-1990, he made a career in the Komsomol: he led the district committee, then the propaganda department of the regional committee.

Policy

After being expelled from the ranks of the communists, he joins the Democratic Revival Party of Ukraine. In the early 90s, she covered the changes taking place in the country by publishing newspapers and magazines.

In 1993 he moved to Kyiv, becoming an adviser, at that time - to the Prime Minister. In 1994, he created the All-Ukrainian Association "Hromada", which helped Leonid Kuchma become President of Ukraine. In 1998, he was elected to the Verkhovna Rada, but in 1999 he left Hromada for the sake of an alliance with the All-Ukrainian Association Batkivshchyna in the format.

In the early 2000s, Alexander Valentinovich performed in a strong bond with Yulia Vladimirovna. Their political alliance helps win the fight for the presidency.

The newly elected president appoints Turchynov as head of the Security Service of Ukraine. In 2007, he became a member of the leadership of the National Security Council, and also became Deputy Prime Minister. In 2010, he served as Acting Prime Minister for a week.

On February 22, 2014, he was elected Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine. According to the Constitution, he assumed the functions of the President, who prematurely terminated the performance of his duties. On June 7 of the same year, he handed over the post to the newly elected president. During the same period (from February to June) he leads the army and creates the National Guard of Ukraine.

During the reign of Turchinov, the process of decommunization of the country began. An anti-terrorist operation has been launched in the Donetsk and Lugansk regions and state control over part of these regions has been restored.

The Verkhovna Rada adopted laws that became the basis for the introduction of a visa-free regime with the European Union. The reform of the Ministry of Internal Affairs with the recertification of employees has begun. A constitutional reform was launched in the direction of decentralization of power.

In 2014, Turchynov, together with the commanders of volunteer battalions, joined the Military Council, which develops recommendations to improve the country's defense capability.

Alexander Turchinov now

Photos of Turchynov do not disappear from news feeds. As Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine, he participates in Council meetings and meets with representatives of friendly countries.

Education.

In 1986 he graduated from the Dnepropetrovsk Metallurgical Institute.

Career:

• After high school, he worked for a short time as a roller and foreman at the Krivorozhstal metallurgical plant, and then switched to Komsomol work. From 1987 to 1989 was secretary of the district committee and head of the propaganda department of the Dnepropetrovsk regional committee of the LKSMU. He acted as one of the coordinators of the Democratic Platform in the CPSU, which advocated the renewal, decentralization of the Communist Party, for which he lost his party card.
• Not finding mutual understanding with the "guiding and guiding", Turchinov plunged into business. In 1990, with partners, he created and headed the Ukrainian branch of the IMA-Press news agency, which published books and newspapers.
• In 1991, he headed the Institute he created international relations, economics, politics and law. In 1992-1993 headed the economic committee of the Dnepropetrovsk Regional State Administration. In 1993-1994 was an adviser on economic issues to Prime Minister Leonid Kuchma, whom he met at the time when he was in charge of the Dnepropetrovsk giant plant Yuzhmash.
• With Tymoshenko - for life. In 1994, Turchynov created the All-Ukrainian Association Hromada. The name of this political force, for many, is primarily associated with the odious prime minister of the times of Kuchma-President Pavel Lazarenko, although he joined it and headed it only in 1997. And shortly before that, Yulia Tymoshenko appeared in Hromada - then one of the leaders of the corporation Unified Energy Systems of Ukraine, which supplied Russian natural gas. Since then, Turchinov and Lady Yu have been inseparable in politics.
• In 1998, he first became a people's deputy (later he received a mandate four more times: in 2002, 2006, 2007 and 2012). He entered the parliament on the Gromada list, although he was soon expelled from his own offspring - due to an intra-party split. In the Verkhovna Rada, he headed the budget committee. At the same time, he initiated a radical budget reform, the redistribution of public funds in favor of local government, the healthcare system, the educational and coal mining industries. Wrote a program de-shadowing the national economy.
• The new political project of Turchynov and Tymoshenko was the All-Ukrainian Association of Batkivshchyna (established in July 1999). The main post in it was taken by the "gas princess", who soon received the portfolio of vice-premier for the fuel and energy complex in the government of Viktor Yushchenko.
• In the summer of 2000, Tymoshenko started having problems with the president and his entourage, in January 2001 she was dismissed, and then sent to a pre-trial detention center. Since then, Turchinov and Lady Yu with their Batkivshchyna have been in opposition (with the exception of eight “post-Maidan” months). First - a tough confrontation with the Kuchma regime (both in parliament as part of the Yulia Tymoshenko Bloc faction, and on the streets of Ukrainian cities). It was the period of the actions "Ukraine without Kuchma" and "Arise, Ukraine!", the creation of the National Salvation Forum and the "orange revolution", which ensured victory in the presidential race for Viktor Yushchenko, and Turchynov's contribution to it turned out to be quite significant.
• In the wake of the revolution, the first deputy leader of the Batkivshchyna and BYuT receives the post of head of the Security Service of Ukraine, and his colleague Tymoshenko becomes prime minister. However, the period of stay in power did not last long. In September 2005, at the peak of the "intra-orange" conflict, Yushchenko dismissed the Tymoshenko government. The indignant head of the SBU himself submits a resignation letter, in which he notes that the decision of the head of state "threatens national security." So the fight against "Kuchmism" was followed by a confrontation with Yushchenko's team, and at the same time with the Party of Regions, which led to the 2006 parliamentary elections. All this time, Turchynov spoke with methodical criticism of both our Ukrainians and the Regions. He accused the former of betraying the ideals of the Maidan, the latter of trying to restore the regime that was defeated at the end of 2004.
• After the failed attempt to form a new "orange coalition" following the results of the 2006 elections, it was the turn of the war with the anti-crisis coalition, interspersed with a showdown with Our Ukraine and Yushchenko. The permanent political crisis in June 2007 resulted in the early termination of the powers of the Verkhovna Rada of the 5th convocation. Turchynov, like most members of the BYuT and Our Ukraine factions (by this time the political forces had entered into another alliance), wrote a statement about the resignation of the deputy mandate. And on May 23, in the midst of a confrontation with the ruling coalition, Yushchenko appointed him first deputy secretary of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine.
• In the 2007 early parliamentary elections, Turchynov was again given control of the BYuT election headquarters. As a result of the vote, the bloc received 156 seats out of 450 possible (27 more than in the previous campaign). After the creation of a coalition between the BYuT and the pro-presidential bloc Our Ukraine - People's Self-Defense and the approval of Tymoshenko as prime minister, Turchynov took the chair of the first vice prime minister in the government.
• Tymoshenko entrusted her first deputy to supervise such responsible areas in the work of the government as finance and the fuel and energy complex (in particular, solving gas problems and eliminating the intermediary company of Gazprom and Dmitry Firtash Rosukrenergo from the market). Because of the prime minister's illnesses, he often had to replace the boss at meetings of the Cabinet of Ministers and on visits to the president, as well as repel Bankova's information attacks. Experts cite both the concern of the head of state with the growth of the prime minister's rating, and the personal conflict between the head of the presidential office, Viktor Baloga, and Tymoshenko and her team, as the reason for them.
• After the decision of the Verkhovna Rada on the re-election of the mayor of the capital and deputies of the Kyiv City Council, Turchynov's associates started talking about as a possible candidate for the post of the capital's mayor from BYuT. At the same time, the potential candidate himself said that he did not want to be the mayor of Kyiv, but if the party says "We must!", then he will run. The party still said "We must!". As a result, he took second place, leaving Leonid Chernovetsky ahead.
• After Viktor Yanukovych became president in a regular election in 2010, the Tymoshenko government was dismissed, and Turchynov lost his post.
• Since December 2012 - People's Deputy of Ukraine of the VII convocation from the Batkivshchyna party (No. 4 on the list). Member of the Verkhovna Rada Committee on Informatization and Information Technologies. First Deputy Head of the Batkivshchyna Party.
• On February 22, 2014, Turchynov was appointed Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine of the VII convocation, and the next day, by a resolution of the Parliament, he was entrusted with the duties of the President of Ukraine, until the election of the head of state in the early elections on May 25, 2014.
• In August 2014, together with Arseniy Yatsenyuk, Arsen Avakov and a number of others, he left the political council of the Batkivshchyna party due to disagreements. After that, the Popular Front Party was organized, before that he was the first deputy head of the Batkivshchyna VO and the head of the Central Headquarters of the party. During the extraordinary parliamentary elections, the party took first place.
• On November 27, 2014, Oleksandr Turchynov announced the termination of the powers of the Verkhovna Rada of the 7th convocation and left the post of Speaker of the Rada. The deputies saw off Turchinov with applause and chanting "Well done!"
• On December 15, 2014, President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko appointed Oleksandr Turchynov by his decree No. 928/2014 to the post of Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine.

Family:

The politician is married and has a son.

Compromise and rumors:

On February 18, 2016, it became clear what Turchynov's son was doing in the National Guard. So, the heir of Oleksandr Turchynov, Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council, received a summons to the military registration and enlistment office during the first wave of mobilization. But, according to the father, his only child volunteered for the army. "My son, having received a master's degree, wrote an application the next day and went to serve in the National Guard. I try not to comment on this topic, where he serves and how - so that he does not interfere with serving, so that there is no hype around it, so as not to create problems him and his colleagues," the Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council said in an interview with LigaBusinessInform. In fact, for more than a year, Kirill Turchynov worked in the head office of the National Guard, as an officer in the legal department, and was engaged in document management. "Turchinov's son quit New Year, because he did not have time to combine service and study. And before that, I regularly went here in uniform every day, received a salary (this is about 5,500 UAH - approx.), - Svetlana Pavlovskaya from the press service of the National Guard confirmed. Information was circulating on social networks that the young man was a student at the Theological Seminary of Chicago (USA). The student assessment department replied that a person named Kirill Turchinov was not on their list. It turned out that Turchynov, Jr., is a graduate student at the Institute of Legislation of the Verkhovna Rada.

A video about secret meetings between NSDC Secretary Oleksandr Turchynov and head of the Committee on Freedom of Speech Victoria Syumar is gaining popularity on the Internet, the National Bureau of Investigation of Ukraine reports. In particular, the video shows how they transfer to each other in cars, try to hide from persecution in Kyiv and drive into an anonymously rented house on the outskirts of Kyiv. The pro-Russian authors of the video claim that they managed to film a romantic meeting of politicians on March 8, although both of them publicly call this holiday “Soviet” and do not celebrate it. “This is the first video confirmation that the relationship between Turchinov and Syumar has long gone beyond official and moved into the category of intimate. The video was made on March 8, 2015,” the release notes under the video.

In May 2014, information appeared in the media that a conflict had arisen between Alexander Turchinov and Yulia Tymoshenko. According to sources, Tymoshenko demanded that Turchynov give the command to forcefully suppress the militia in the South-East of Ukraine. Turchinov refused. In addition, it was alleged that Tymoshenko was unhappy with the fact that Turchynov was lobbying parishioners of his church for strategic positions. This was the head of the electoral headquarters of the "Batkivshchyna" in the Odessa region, People's Deputy Alexander Dubovoy. He headed the headquarters on the recommendation of Turchinov. It is known that these people are connected not only by party affairs and good personal relations. They are both members of the same church. It was on the quota of Alexander Dubovoy that the Odessa regional police headquarters was headed by Petr Lutsyuk, who was accused of unsuitability after the tragic events of May 2 in Odessa. Tymoshenko's opponents immediately trumpeted that this was the same Dubovoy who was leading her campaign in the Odessa region. According to sources, Yulia Vladimirovna allegedly reacted painfully to the image blow and emotionally spoke out to Turchinov. Bankova's employees claim that as a result of a conflict with the ex-premier, acting. The President expressed a desire to temporarily leave big politics after the transfer of powers to the popularly elected President.

On March 18, 2014, People's Deputy Anatoly Gritsenko suggested that Turchynov resign. According to Gritsenko, Turchynov cannot cope with the role of the Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, and this is not his calling. In addition, Gritsenko reminded Turchynov that Turchynov promised to leave politics after the release of Yulia Tymoshenko from prison, but did not keep his word. However, Turchynov refused, and Gritsenko himself left the faction and the Batkivshchyna party.

During the chairmanship of Turchinov on March 11, 2014, the Supreme Council Autonomous Republic Crimea and the Sevastopol City Council adopted a declaration on the independence of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea and the city of Sevastopol, and on March 18, 2014 signed an agreement on the entry of the Republic of Crimea and the city of Sevastopol into Russian Federation on the rights of subjects of the Russian Federation.

On December 20, 2013, Arseniy Yatsenyuk announced that a criminal case had been opened against Turchynov by the SBU "for calling for a coup d'état"

One of the Wikileaks documents reports a conversation between former Interior Minister Yuriy Lutsenko and the US Ambassador to Ukraine. “In particular, the “orange” interior minister Yuriy Lutsenko, flaunting, told the US ambassador to Ukraine that he had received an order from the prosecutor general to arrest Tymoshenko’s associates Oleksandr Turchynov and Andrey Kozhemyakin for destroying documents of the SBU, which spoke of Tymoshenko’s connection with the criminal businessman Semyon Mogilevich. Lutsenko called the order of the Prosecutor General Medvedko crazy and, of course, did not comply with it.

An interesting fact is that after the opposition forces came to power, despite the unequivocal ban on combining posts, Turchynov was at the same time acting. President of Ukraine, acting Head of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine and Speaker of the Verkhovna Rada. Turchinov also assumed the duties of commander in chief armed forces Ukraine.

Religion Turchynov gave rise to a lot of rumors and speculation. In fact, he is a parishioner of the Protestant Church "Word of Life" (not to be confused with the Church of Christians of the Evangelical Faith "Word of Life" in Kyiv). He is also a shepherd and periodically reads sermons to parishioners.

Undoubtedly, there are many ambiguous or mysterious personalities in Ukrainian politics. Some of them are more suspicious, some less. In the biographies of almost every one of them there are facts that convict them of various frauds or even crimes. The current Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council, the first and only acting Secretary, is no exception. President of Ukraine, ex-chairman of the Verkhovna Rada, ex-head of the SBU and people's deputy of the III-VIII convocations Oleksandr Turchynov. During his career, he went through many departments and political positions, turned out a bunch of cunning machinations and schemes, but he was never caught "in the heat." He was called the "Bloody Pastor", but he continued to do his "great work". What secrets are hidden in the past of Alexander Valentinovich?

“Student, Komsomol member, athlete and just…”

Alexander Turchinov was born in 1964 in Dnepropetrovsk. His father, Valentin Ivanovich, was a master of sports of the USSR in volleyball and went in for sports all his life. Alexander Valentinovich was a talented child, like his father played volleyball (led the school team), studied diligently (on one five). After school, Turchynov studied in Dnepropetrovsk technological university. During his studies, he actively wrote scientific papers, he was even predicted a career as a great scientist. However, he surprised everyone - immediately after university he went to work at the Kryvorizhstal plant. Even in his student years, Alexander Valentinovich tested his strength in the political sphere - he was an active member of the communist construction teams. For these merits, he was even awarded a trip to India, which was inaccessible to ordinary residents of the union.

Feeling that participation in the Komsomol and political life country gives many privileges, in parallel with work at the plant, he began his own career as part of one of the district Dnepropetrovsk Komsomol members. For perseverance and diligence, Turchynov was eventually appointed to the post of head of the agitation and propaganda department of the Dnepropetrovsk Regional Committee of the All-Union Leninist Communist Youth Union (VLKSM). By the way, in those years it was headed by Serhiy Tigipko, the future oligarch, Minister of Social Policy and Deputy Prime Minister of Ukraine under the government of Mykola Azarov.

With the collapse of the USSR, Turchinov retired from political affairs, starting to master the field of journalism. Until 1991, he was the editor-in-chief of the UNA-press APN news agency in Ukraine. By the way, it was on his initiative that this branch of a foreign publication was opened. Further, he again returned to scientific activity, creating and heading the Institute of International Relations, Economics, Politics and Law. He wrote about a hundred scientific papers on the shadow economy and totalitarian control systems, at least that's what they write in his official biography. This is very strange, because the journalists could not find them. What really exists are small brochures in which Alexander Valentinovich is a co-author, but not a single of his “epoch-making” works has been found.

Coming to "big politics"

Over time, Turchynov decided to return to politics. In 1992, after Pavel Lazorenko became the head of the Dnipropetrovsk Regional State Administration, Alexander Valentinovich was appointed head of the committee for demonopolization and denationalization of production. This appointment was his starting point for a great political career, because immediately after that he was appointed Leonid Kuchma's adviser on macroeconomics (and behind the scenes - a business partner), and also joined the leadership of the Ukrainian Union of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs. At the same time, together with Pavel Lazarenko, he was engaged in the creation of the VO "Hromada", of which he was appointed chairman.

After Leonid Kuchma resigned as Prime Minister, Turchinov retired from politics and returned to scientific work, taking the post of general director of the Institute for Economic Reforms. In 1997 he defended his doctoral dissertation. The theme of his research was the same “Shadow economy”.

Turchinov first became a people's deputy in 1998 on the lists of the Gromada party, the head of which was then Lazarenko, and his future colleague Yulia Tymoshenko then held the post of deputy chairman of the council of the same party. Rumor has it that Turchinov and Timoshenko began to be "close friends" back in 1989 (and they could even have common children), when Yulia Vladimirovna was just starting her entrepreneurial activity. After all, it was under the patronage of the Dnepropetrovsk regional committee of the LKSMU (in which Turchynov worked) that Tymoshenko was engaged in the creation of the youth center "Terminal".

After Pavel Lazarenko fled from Ukraine, he was prosecuted on charges of "financial abuse." Alexander Valentinovich, together with Yulia Vladimirovna, left the Gromada party and created the Batkivshchyna. In it, Turchynov was assigned the role of deputy head of the party, and Tymoshenko became its leader.

For the second time, Turchynov became a people's deputy already as part of the Yulia Tymoshenko Bloc party, dealing with issues related to the state budget in the Verkhovna Rada. In 2003, the Prosecutor General's Office accused Turchynov and his BYuT colleague Stepan Khmara under three articles of the Criminal Code at once. According to the investigation, people's deputies entered the Lukyanovka pre-trial detention center at the end of June 2003, where they "began to insult and beat law enforcement officers" (then Viktor Shokin, who served as deputy head of the GPU, insisted on this version, it is strange, but when he came to the post of Prosecutor General, he sharply forgot about it without making any statements).

Activist of the Orange Revolution. SBU-shnik, BYuT

During the "Orange Revolution" he also did not sit idly by - he oversaw the election headquarters of Viktor Yushchenko in the Donetsk, Luhansk, Sumy and Kirovograd regions. In addition, at the last stage of the elections, he was the so-called “financial controller”, with the right to sign financial documents.” His efforts were not in vain - after Yushchenko's appointment as president, he became the head of the SBU (by the way, he was the first civilian to be given such an honor).

After his arrival in the “office”, the main operatives immediately quit, taking with them “flash drives” with various data. It was the information from these “flash drives” that became the headache of the Yushchenko regime, since it turned out that both Yushchenko and all his associates were by no means “white and fluffy”, but on the contrary, the main corruption schemes and criminals under Kuchma were controlled precisely by the “new Yushchenko team” , and they did not go anywhere, but on the contrary, they were built into the new system, but already under the leadership and cover of Turchinov.

He served in this position for seven months, resigning after Yulia Tymoshenko left the post of prime minister. How is it related, you ask? Yes, it’s very simple: being the head of the SBU, on the orders of Turchynov, documents from the archives of the department were destroyed, according to which Yulia Tymoshenko is closely connected with the well-known crime boss Semyon Mogilevich. This became known after the publication on Wikileaks of the correspondence of the then Minister of Internal Affairs Yuriy Lutsenko with the US Ambassador. In it, he reported that Prosecutor General Medvedko ordered the arrest of Turchynov for the destruction of documents incriminating Tymoshenko in illegal activities. During Oleksandr Turchynov's presidency in the SBU, the SBU investigative group that was investigating the death of Georgiy Gongadze was actually destroyed (the operas that controlled the investigation of the "Tarashcha body" quit immediately after the arrival of Turchinov, and the rest of the "small fry" - after the arrival of "Ken" Khoroshkovsky). On the personal instructions of Alexander Valentinovich, this group simply ceased to receive any information on this case (there was no longer any information from anyone). At the same time, the Prosecutor General's Office accused this group of disrupting the operation to extradite the main suspect in the case, General Aleksey Pukach. Having fulfilled his mission in the SBU, Turchynov left to conquer other peaks.

In the parliamentary elections in 2006 and 2007, Alexander Valentinovich headed the election headquarters of the Yulia Tymoshenko Bloc. As a people's deputy of the 5th convocation, he served as leader of the BYuT faction. And after the appointment of Yulia Vladimirovna as Prime Minister, he became her right hand, taking the post of First Deputy Prime Minister. He stayed in this position right up to the defeat of Yulia Tymoshenko in the presidential elections in 2010 and the arrival of Viktor Yanukovych to the post of President of Ukraine. After the arrest of Yulia Vladimirovna in 2011, he led the opposition forces, which united on the basis of the Batkivshchyna party. In the party, he was always responsible for intelligence activities and the so-called "black box office". Having entered the Verkhovna Rada once again, he was actively engaged in criticizing the current government, not particularly standing out from the opposition crowd.

Recent Events

During the Euromaidan, he was wounded by a fragment of a stun grenade thrown by Berkut soldiers during one of the next assaults. After the "overthrow" of Yanukovych, he was appointed speaker of parliament and temporarily elected acting prime minister and president of Ukraine. He performed these duties until the end of the presidential elections. By the way, being the “acting” president of Ukraine, he “repaid his debt” to the oligarchs who supported Euromaidan by appointing them to the post of governor Donetsk region(Sergei Taruta - ISD) and the Dnipropetrovsk region (Igor Kolomoisky - Privat).

After a loud quarrel in the Batkivshchyna party, he left the party together with Arsen Avakov, Arseniy Yatsenyuk and several other like-minded people. He went to the elections to the Verkhovna Rada of the VIII convocation together with the Popular Front party, which took first place on the party lists.

In mid-December 2014, by decree of Petro Poroshenko, he was appointed head of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine. At the same time, amendments were made to the legislation, according to which the powers of the Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council were significantly expanded, and this position, with the arrival of Turchynov, in terms of the weight of powers, became in fact comparable to the positions of the president or prime minister.

Is business a woman's business?

Like most of the ruling elite of Ukraine, Turchynov's business is officially registered not with him, but with members of his family. The assets of Alexander Valentinovich are owned by the female part of his family - wife Anna Turchinova, mother Valentina Turchinova and mother-in-law Tamara Beliba. Strangely enough, most of the business is framed specifically for his mother-in-law (it can be seen that he respects her very much). They own the "Institute of Economics and Law", engaged in research, and constantly receiving financial influences from unknown investors. The Turchinov couple itself also includes: the Imkotel company - is engaged in wireless communications and the Internet (its main shareholder is the aforementioned Institute of Economics and Law), the Kinotur company - is engaged in film mastering (owner Tamara Beliba), and the Ekonomiks Institutas enterprise , engaged in the construction of data centers abroad (in particular in Lithuania).

Declaration of income of Alexander Turchinov

Oleksandr V. himself says that, compared to other citizens of Ukraine, he is a rather rich person (although according to the declaration he lives only on the salary of a people's deputy). If we recall the topic of his doctoral dissertation (“Shadow Economy”), it is not at all surprising that he was directly or indirectly involved in the creation of the companies Europa-X, Pharmacor, ZET, BB, SVV, the Evening News newspaper, as well as the Janus real estate agency.

Real "Pastor"

Oleksandr Turchynov is a Baptist parish pastor and one of the heads of the Church of Christ branch in Ukraine. It is noteworthy that when he came to the post of head of the SBU in 2005, one of his first orders was to stop all investigations related to the activities of the Church of Christ. This is very strange, because such organizations in most cases are excellent places to launder huge amounts of money. This church for such operations uses the charitable foundation "Hope around the world." By the way, Tymoshenko, Turchinov's girlfriend, is also called one of the members of the church, although for some reason she hides such facts. Ukrainian and Russian conspiracy theorists link the activities of this church with US intelligence activities, in particular, attributing to it cooperation with the CIA.

An incredible amount of materials have been written about Alexander Turchinov, according to different versions, he is called: an American agent, a homosexual, a thief, a swindler, Tymoshenko's lover, a "grey eminence", a "bloody Pastor", and many other pleasant or not very words. Yes, many of these words are speculation that do not have official confirmation, but no one can deny that there were many “dirty deeds” in his life. And until his criminal activity is officially proven, he will continue to do whatever he pleases, or whatever his patrons whisper in his ear, be it American intelligence services, Freemasons, the world government or others. forces hidden from the eyes of ordinary Ukrainians.

And in the end - a very important question: did Turchinov throw his "creator" and "patron" Pavel Ivanovich Lazarenko, who became very quiet after the Euromaidan? After all, it was Boris Filatov and Gennady Korban's associates who were the main witnesses in the case of Pavel Ivanovich. Now Filatov has become the head of the Dnepropetrovsk region. And Mr. Kolomoisky said 6 years ago - "Deal with it yourself, I have no complaints against Pavel Ivanovich." And not so long ago, Filatov and Korban "squeezed out" the Astoria-Lux and European Hotel in Dnepropetrovsk from Lazarenko. And for Pavel Ivanovich his mother-in-law Tamara Tsikova solved the issues. She applied for legal services to Maxim Lavrynovych, the son of the then Minister of Justice Oleksandr Lavrynovych, who had an office on Leo Tolstoy Street in Kyiv. Only on the same days, Gennady Korban personally came to Lavrynovych's office ... And a few days later, Vyacheslav Braginsky, connected with Korban, the head of the Ukraine-Canada company, died from a strange explosion of a gas pipeline in Dnepropetrovsk. The "squeezed" assets of Lazarenko were issued to this company. Just a couple of days before the explosion, the shares and shares of the main structures of Braginsky were transferred to other legal entities controlled by Korban and, they say, Lavrinovich.

... And Turchinov was in power. And he knew that Tsikova even met with Yulia Tymoshenko with a request for help.

Yes, it is difficult to assume that Turchinov was not aware of these "showdowns". Couldn't Turchynov have solved Lazarenko's problems by holding such a position? Or didn't want competition? And why is the topic of Lazarenko's return to his homeland so quiet now?
