Crimean Gauleiter Yushchenko died
Today it became known that 67-year-old Anatoly Matvienko, a deputy of the Verkhovna Rada of several convocations, died in Ukraine.
Ukrainian media reported this, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
It is noteworthy that the politician, distinguished by his rabid anti-Russian position, in Soviet times headed the LKSMU of Ukraine and was a member of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Ukrainian SSR, but during independence he went over to the side of the so-called national democrats.
Subsequently, Matvienko changed parties and political preferences more than once. In the Rada of the third convocation, he headed the faction of the People's Democratic Party, but was elected to the next parliament on the list of the Yulia Tymoshenko Bloc, and three years later he headed the election headquarters of Viktor Yushchenko in Kharkov, after which he became a member of parliament from Our Ukraine - People's Self-Defense "
From Yushchenko, who became president as a result of the “orange” Maidan, Matvienko received the post of Prime Minister of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea. At the same time, the Crimean parliament, which opposed the “orange”, under pressure from Kyiv, dutifully voted for the Russophobe imposed on the then autonomy.
