The story of Viktor Yushchenko. The path to power, relations with Kuchma, between Tymoshenko and Yanukovych, gas wars

At the end of January 2005, Viktor Yushchenko took the oath of the president of Ukraine.

Thanks to nationwide resistance Yushchenko succeeded triumphantly defeat Viktor Yanukovychbehind which stood Bankova and the entire administrative resource of the country.

But literally in five years, in 2010, Viktor Andriyovych lost ingloriously all the same to Yanukovych, taking as much as fifth place in the presidential elections.

Today, the third president of Ukraine is perceived by many as a moral authority. As a guarantor who not only took care of the historical heritage, but set the pro-European vector of our grandmother.

Yushchenko respects young people, he is a cult figure for millennials.

It would seem, how could we miss such a leader?

Such thoughts sting our hearts until you talk to people who directly dealt with Viktor Yushchenko.

These are the people we spoke with to create this video.

It seems that society does not know the real Yushchenko, but perceives him through the media image.

The third Ukrainian president can write himself into the asset of creation Holodomor Museumopening Art Arsenalrestoration of the Hetman palace in Baturin.

These are important cultural achievements. But it would be logical to ask: is it only the issue of national memory that should be dealt with by the Supreme Commander-in-Chief?

We should not forget about the numerous scandals with which Yushchenko’s surname is connected. For example, a multi-million project “Hospitals of the future“, for which the whole country collected funds – and which does not exist to this day.

Or the creation during the presidency of Viktor Andriyovych Gazova laying company “RosUkrEnergo”which was a model of schematization in gas relations with Gazprom.

In domestic politics, Yushchenko’s time is political chaos, when everyone in his own team fought with each other for powers and access to resources.

And what about Viktor Andriyovych?

More often than not, the president seemed to remove himself from solving real problems and chose personal comfort and aristocratic hobbies.

So what was actually the period of Viktor Yushchenko’s presidency?

“Ukrainian Pravda” tried to find a comprehensive answer to this question in the video project “Who is”, where we tell biographies of Ukrainian presidents.
