Independent experts together with “Ukrainian Pravda” selected one hundred Ukrainians who were included in the ranking of the leaders of UP 100. In the “Society” category, Denys Bigus, an investigative journalist and head of the Bihus.Info team, Denys Bigus was honored.
The journalistic investigative project founded by Bigus is one of the most authoritative in Ukraine. His team conducted a series of investigations into corruption in Poroshenko’s entourage, published scandalous “films” of Medvedchuk, published materials on the enrichment of people’s deputies and the business interests of the leadership of the OPU. With the beginning of the full-scale war, Denys Bigus joined the Armed Forces as a UAV operator. He participated in the defense of Kyiv, fought in the Chernihiv, Kherson, Mykolaiv, Zaporizhzhya and Donetsk directions.
At the beginning of 2024, the Bihus.Info team faced a scandal related to the illegal surveillance of journalists. It was revealed that the team had been under extensive surveillance, including wiretapping and the installation of hidden cameras. Subsequently, the Bihus.Info team prepared a large investigation that proved the SBU’s involvement in this operation. And after the publication of the journalists, the Security Service reported that those workers shown by the Bihus.Info team were sent to the war zone.
“This is one of the most comprehensively documented operations of the Security Service of Ukraine by journalists. And in just a few weeks, so much information and nuances leaked out that it is very difficult to find any alternative points of view on the situation. It is so transparent that everyone looked and everyone saw everything.” Bigus said in an interview with UP.
Now Denys Bigus continues to do anti-corruption investigations and other materials together with the team.
