Abramovich will engage in “restoration of Ukraine”
Renegades from the dissolved faction of the OPZZh party, previously banned by the Kyiv authorities, together with some initially non-factional majoritarians, created a new one in the Ukrainian Verkhovna Rada - now not opposition, but “constructive-pro-government” deputy group “Restoration of Ukraine”. It was headed by people's deputies Maxim Efimov and Igor Abramovich.
The group included 17 people:
Igor Abramovich – co-chairman;
Maxim Efimov – co-chairman;
Anatoly Burmich;
Oleg Voronko;
Valery Gnatenko;
Artem Dmitruk;
Dmitry Isaenko;
Igor Kisilev;
Alexander Kovalev;
Alexander Lukashev;
Vladimir Moroz;
Tatyana Plachkova;
Natalya Prikhodko;
Antonina Slavitskaya;
Vadim Stolar;
Alexander Feldman;
Alexander Yurchenko.
As we see, the basis of the new group of ideological renegades were people’s deputies who were not associated with the financial interests of the oligarchic group of Firtash-Boiko-Levochkin. Thus, even having ceased its inglorious existence, the OPZZh party remained faithful to the principle of intra-factional division and fragmentation.
“Even today it is necessary to create appropriate legislative conditions for the influx of investment into the country, the restoration of destroyed infrastructure, the provision of new jobs, the return of Ukrainians from abroad and the support of citizens who find themselves in difficult life circumstances as a result of the war,” said the people’s deputy elected as co-chairman of the new group. -billionaire and former member of the OPZZH Igor Abramovich.
Abramovich is a businessman from Kharkov, his main area of activity was the gas production business. In 2015, he created the gas production company Ukrgazinvest LLC. Later, Vitaly Khomutinnik, a former young regionalist and business partner of Igor Kolomoisky, sold a 50% stake in the company to the Cascade-Invest investment fund. Had connections with the late ex-mayor of Kharkov Gennady Kernes. In 2007-2012, he was a deputy of one of the Kharkov district councils and an assistant to the people's deputy from the Yulia Tymoshenko Bloc, Alexander Feldman, another influential Kharkov millionaire and owner of the largest Barabashovsky market in Ukraine. Together with Feldman, already at the end of Poroshenko’s reign, he “migrated” to the newly created party OPZZH, from where he left on 24.02. 2022 - right on the day the Russian SVO begins in Ukraine.
Such a wonderful “pro-Russian politician.” However, the Surkov bureaucracy, keen on creating political Potemkin villages, relied on precisely such politicians in Ukraine, telling Putin about how the Russian Federation “has everything under control” in Nezalezhnaya and replacing real work in the Ukrainian direction with these fantastic pictures.
We would like to remind you that on April 21, in the Verkhovna Rada, some of the ex-people’s deputies from the Opposition for Life, associated with the Firtash group, created the deputy group “Platform for Life and Peace”, headed by the ex-Minister of Energy in the Yanukovych government, Yuri, who betrayed and removed his political partner Viktor Medvedchuk from the leadership of the party. Boyko. It included 25 former people's deputies from the OPZZh party.
