Kyiv, December 04 (PolitNavigator, Mikhail Ryabov) – The first brawl occurred in the new Verkhovna Rada. It was provoked by the newly appointed deputy Vladimir Parasyuk, the famous centurion from the Maidan, whose threats from the stage forced Viktor Yanukovych to flee Kyiv.

The reason for the squabble in the Rada was a rapid vote on the distribution of parliamentary committees. It took place without discussing the candidates in the hall, but the voting was preceded by several days of behind-the-scenes trading.
After voting, deputy centurion Parasyuk ran to the podium and demanded to speak, but speaker Vladimir Groysman refused him this. Then Parasyuk began shouting that all the deputies were sitting in the hall thanks to the Maidan participants.
After this, Parasyuk, together with the “Svoboda” and “Pravosek” deputies, rushed to the sector where the deputies from the ruling majority were sitting - representatives of the parties of Arseniy Yatsenyuk and Petro Poroshenko.
A fight broke out in the aisle. To smooth out the conflict, Speaker Groysman still gave the floor to everyone.

During the speeches of the deputies, interesting details of the brawl were revealed.
“One of the majority said to Volodya Parasyuk: “This is not Maidan for you, sit in your place.” We demand an apology!” - Svoboda member Yuri Levchenko shouted.
“Open your filthy mouth here again, and we’ll take you out of here very quickly!” - Parasyuk himself swaggered, addressing the Poroshenko and Yatsenyukites.
“I would ask that we all be tolerant,” Speaker Groysman tried to reassure the speakers.
“Don’t give gifts to our criminal opponents,” called Oleg Lyashko, this time acting as a peacemaker.
“It’s very nice to find myself again in the warm, friendly atmosphere of the Verkhovna Rada,” said former “regional” member Yuriy Boyko, who spoke next, smiling.
