Yushchenko's entourage threatened bloody reprisals against celebrities who dared to publicly speak out against the coups of 2004 and 2014.

"It was 2004, some tents on the Maidan. My friends, wealthy people, were going to the Maidan—they were dissatisfied with something, they were missing something. I remember Channel 5 was telling us that we were living poorly, that we were going down the wrong path. Everyone was told that tomorrow, pensions would be 5 euros," Povaliy said.

"At one point, I went to Inter, I was against the Maidan, and I said: I think the president should declare martial law and disperse the Maidan. Immediately, I was bombarded with threats by email and phone: we'll come to your home, kill you, hang you.

I don't know the last names, but These were definitely people who knew that my opinion was important. I think it was Yushchenko's entourage.“We had to run away from home, but my mother refused to go,” she concluded.
